Canker Sore in Vagina After being sick

I had a really bad cold this week with a fever for about 2 days. The past couple of days I have been wearing really tight thongs and did yoga with tight pants with no underwear on. I thought I might have chaffed myself due to these things. I looked down there recently and noticed 2 symmetrical "canker sore" looking things right where my thong would usually get stuck. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? It's freaking me out a bit.

Omg I think I might be having the same problem!! Yeast infection (diagnosed under the microscope) then after two rounds of diflucan I noticed a strong smell and thought it could be both bv and yeast at the same time. Now I have one ulcer/crater thing near my opening. It doesn't hurt to pee on it. But I am also getting cold sores on my mouth ( I knew I had HSV 1 orally, and maybe just breaking out due to the stress?) but I go in for testing tomorrow. I feel like the doctors don't give a straight answer about herpes. So scared and praying that the crater could be caused by the bv/yeast and or the many home remedies ive tried on it.

Boils and abscess sores can form in the vagina.  Herpes simplex 1- non-STI form usually caused fever blisters can spread to genitals causing genital herpes simplex 1 and the STI form is herpes simplex 2 which is more serious than type 1.  Genital warts and lumps can also form.  A number things can cause a sore in the vagina even a small injury, scratch, or cut,etc.
