Vaginal crack like sores with swollen glands
"I am having cut/crack like sores(just flat, no liquid) in the area of my vulva, redness, burning, nausea, swollen lymph nodes in the groin and feeling of being sick in general. What may it be?"
It could be simple Herpes.
Doesn't really sound like Syphilis though since symptoms wouldn't appear only 3 days later (though stranger things have happened - what with people having different biochemical makeups)
What you can do is go do a STD bacterial examination (gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, ureaplasma and mycoplasma).
For syphilis test, you will probably have to wait another 4 weeks (though you can extend that to 5 just in case) to see if that might be.
It would be advisable to go to a doctor and have them diagnose you properly.

It happened 2 weeks ago. 2,3 days later I noticed the sores (they didnt change over time), burning and nausea and I got the right lymph node pain and swelling in my right groin yesterday - after 2 weeks.
Yes, unprotected sex but just for few seconds only... What do you think?
Have you had a "risky" exposure recently?
There's a number of things it could be and the best way to find out is to have a doctor take a look.
If you think you have something sexually transmitted I would assume there's been an encounter recently which worries you. If you describe it, we can evaluate your risk and potentially rule a few things out
