Open wound on Labia

[msu92]

The other day when I was using the restroom, I realized there was a burning sensation coming from an open laseration on my labia, very close the the vagina opening.  It bled for about 2 days then stopped, but the pain has increased so much that I don't want to even use the bathroom.  It is about the size a dime, and has depth to it.  I have not been sexually active in over 2 years, and my last partner was tested before we started having sex.  There is a history of cirvical, and ovarian cancers in my family.  Any advice or input that you could give me?

I was able to see an Ob-gyn on Friday (a week after i started having pain from the sores) and he swabbed one of the ulcers and was going to culture it.  I was perscribed zovirax cream, zovirax pills, and keflex. So far I have aquired 3 new smaller ulcers but they aren't as painful and not nearly as large as my first two.  I was told it could also be from bacteria on a razor from shaving or from unlcean toys, or hands during mastrubation.  
I talked to the only partner i have had and he has been tested for a job recelty and there were no stds found.

Hello,
First of all, it can be trauma to the vagina but since you are sexually active, so any STD’s should be ruled out. You should get syphilis along with others like herpes simplex sores, granuloma inguinale, lymphgranuloma venereum(less chances) ruled out.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
