Ok so recently I noticed that I have cut like sores right under the opening of my vagina. It's only painful when I sit or strech a certain way, I feel fine after a hot shower but the cuts are still there. I had this same problem a while back, I thought it had been from shaving so I just ignored it and it went away ans stupidly I shaved again and its been a few weeks and they are still there. The first time I noticed them I looked and saw what looked like long scratches along the lps, hence why I thought shaving. I havent had sex in almost 4 months but I asked the last partner I had and he said he didnt have herpes or anything. I'm not sure I really trust that but I can't go to the doctor, because i have no insurance. The cuts dont bleed or anything and I've looked this up a dozen times so it could be from dryness or sensivity to soap (which I recently had to change because of the swelling it caused). I know it could be anything, including an std, but the last time I went to a doctor I did have a blood test and no std came up, I was put on antibiotics that really caused some issues for me "down there" and that was only a few weeks before i noticed the inital scratches, that I said were from shaving.
Nothing hurts or burns and it has been better since wearing cotton underwear, I'm just concerned as to what is causing this.

Shaving your vagina can cause cuts and infections but I perfer that trimming the hair a little is better. I also have these random cuts near my vagina, but I don't know if it is from the pad I am using when I have my period or not. I'm now on my period and I have cuts and red, itchy bumps around my vagina, I don't know what to do about it. I am also scared to tell my mom. :'(
