vaginal itch

for the past few months i have been experiencing itching in the same exact spot in my vagina. it happens right after my period ends. i have examined the area and there are no lesions open sores blisters nothing. all it is is red and it itches but there are no other symptoms. this might be tmi but the itch isnt in my vagina but on the outside on the right side. this might be confusing but the right side seems to be deeper than the left side, like it goes farther down. anyway the itch is always there. i have had a culture for herpes done once last august because i had a cut in my vagina(not where the itching occurs) and that came back negative. does this sound anyting like herpes? i will also add my sexual history. 2 months before i had the cut in my vagina which was cultured...i had brief genital contact with someone who says he does not have herpes and he has been tested. about 2 days before i had the cut and culture in my vagina i had protected sex for the first time with my boyfriend who was a virgin(of everything). ive also had oral sex with my boyfriend but he has never had a cold sore when we did that.
thank you so much ...i had asked in other forums but i figured this might be the right place to ask! thank you again

I do not think that what you are describing is herpes.  It sounds like a bit of irritation at most.  I suggest you leave it alone except for a bland moisturizer like Lubriderm, and show it to a doctor if it persists.  I suspect you're itching mostly out of worry that you picked up something, not that you did.

Take care.

sorry another comment. I meant to ask if the itching sounds anything like herpes...not if the cut sounded anything like herpes.
