vaginal tear?

Just noticed a one inch long papercut-like tear on one of the folds of my
vagina near the opening. No discharge or redness (other than from me pulling at it to
get a better look), no itching or burning...other than a very very brief sting
when the urine passed over it. I discovered it when I wiped and the toilet
paper had a very very very tiny spot of blood on it. Other than that I probably
wouldn't have even noticed it. Although the skin does kind of seem a bit dry.
I'm married and haven't had sex in 5-7 days, but have been exercising
(rollerblading) and working on my feet for prolonged periods of time
(waitressing/bartending). I have had 2 cold sores in my life...the most recent
being a little over a year ago. Is it possible that the virus has been spread
to my vagina...or could it be something else entirely? Needless to say, I'm
petrified!

no, your oral herpes did not spread to your genital area.

You need to go and be seen and get this looked at. Odds are neither you nor your husband has ever been tested for herpes before. also get tested for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally too.

I'm not a doctor, not sure why this question was directed at me.
Also, how would you get a paper cut there? That's obviously not possible. If you shave you could've cut yourself with a razor...if you don't it won't hurt to go to the doctor and have it checked out.
