Cant tell if I have a tear or sore.
So I don't have any pain or burning or itching. The only time it really bothers me is when I have sex. If it's really lubricated it doesn't hurt at all. It's been there for a few months now. I stopped having sex for 3 weeks and it seemed to not go away. It's right on the rim of my vagina. My boyfriend looked at it and put a mirror infront of it so I could see what it looked like. It's a circular sore/tear. It's about the size of a pea. Basically it looks like you tore a small hole in a nylon. Can anyone tell me what this is and how to make it go away? I do have herpes but I don't have any of the symptoms. If it is a tear, can my boyfriend get outbreaks from the open wound? he has herpes too and we're not sure if he keeps getting the outbreaks from me or if his immune system is down or something. If it helps, I can post a picture of it.
thank you. I went to docs before and they said they couldn't see anything but when i looked at it, it was very visible. I'm going back to get a second opinion this week. I will keep you posted.

Hello,
It can be a cyst, herpes sore, STD’s like syphilis or due to some vaginal abscess/fistula. It is important to get it examined from a gynecologist and get syphilis ruled out. The lesion of primary syphilis includes chancre which is a painless skin ulceration localized at the point of initial exposure to the spirochete.
Exactly what it is can be confirmed only after examination, blood tests, VDRL test and biopsy. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. 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 dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
