sore

the skin below the opening to my vagina is raw/tender and red. it also is slightly swollen following down in the shape of my vaginal lips and has been for a while. when i have sex it feels as though it is so tight its going to tear and it becomes irritated i think and swells up more. i've only been sexually active with one partner who is free from stds and i have had no other symptoms common to any stds that i know of. the swollen part of red skin is sore to touch.
what could it be?

Do you have any sort of odd-discharge?  Odd looking or smelling?  

by sally951, Mar 07, 2008 06:34PM
No. my discharge is normal and normal smelling.
sometimes there can be quite a lot but its always been like that.
this is why i am really confused as to what it could be.
my skin below has been this way for well over a month.
any ideas?

ive also been vaccinated for hpv but im scared that maybe i caught it from the vaccination or something.
it doesnt look anything like herpes or genital warts - so im hoping its non of those.
has this happened to you or anyone else before?
