how did that work out for you? because i have the same thing and my doctor said it was friction and heat. But have had it for a while now.
am a nurse, and my advice would be to refrain from any contact to the sore and see if it begins to heal. Otherwize, how will you know if it's caused from friction? That is a sensitive area and the skin can be broken quit easily. Other than that look at pictures of herpes, ghonorrhea, etc. etc. to rule any of those out. Keep trying as this type of thing can be very dangerous if it is something other than friction. Certainly you and your girl-friend would want to know. Good luck. Keep us posted.
