Injury(cut) near urethral opening?

[twinkletoes_]

Hi,

I'm female, 22 y/o and I've found that I have this small hole/cut about a centimeter away from my urethral opening. It's about a millimeter or two in length and it sorta opens/gapes a bit.. (t's not a straight line) about 1/2 a millimeter. I thought at first i must have cut myself with my nails or something since last week, I was itchy down there. It also stung to pee and to wash myself.

I do not know if this is related but a week or so before that, my boyfriend fingered me. It wasn't a completely comfortable position. I was straddling on his leg with my back to him. The space was really tight so I imagined he could've hurt me but nothing hurt then. Though I did start itching like crazy a few days after and it burned to pee.

The itchiness and burning is gone now though I do wonder about that hole/cut I mentioned. Can anyone tell me what it is??

So if there's no abnormal vaginal discharge whatsoever then it cannot be due to STD's?

Right now I'm using a Fluoccinolone cream. Is that ok?

Thank you very much!

Hello,
It looks like some infection or due to trauma to the genitalia. Application of Neosporin cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. Also avoid masturbation and intercourse till it is completely repaired. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a urologist/ gynecologist.

Also if there is any change in vaginal discharge then STD’s need to be ruled out.

Hope this helps and take care.
