Vaginal lesions

I am 36 years old and have had the same partner (faithfully)  for 11 years.  About 10 years about I started having these sores develop in my vaginal region.  They almost looked like little blisters.  I will just call them Vaginal lesions.  When they are about to show up the area will start to itch and burn slightly.  Then the vaginal lesion arrives there is considerable pain.  It will last for about a week then go away.  When they first appeared I would get one or two at a time then they would go away, but a couple of weeks later a would get another.  I was miserable.  Through the years
they have lessened.  Last year I only had one and now, about a year later, I have another. OB/gyn

i am  22 years old, and  unfortunately my symptoms started on my 21st birthday.  i get these little sores on the inside of my vagina that hurt to pee or sit or really move around. I had to go to a dr while on vacation.  I have been tested several times for genital herpes both blood and culture all have come back negative.could they be false negatives? I do have sensitive skin and have any allergies. My symptoms seemed to have gone away for a year after my bf and i broke up ( talk about being allergic to a man)ha anyway i am  now currently sick again just a cold and i feel the cuts coming back. more discomfort going pee . My gyno has been stumped trying to figure out what this is, they were certain it was herpes but like i said i have had many tests and all come back negative. I don't even  have the antibodies for  cold sores.it is not only physically draining but emotionally as well. I have had 3 sexual partners all of which got tested and  came back negative. If anyone has answers they would be greatly appreciated.

I started having small tears in the 6 oclock location of my vagina about 3 years ago. I was advised by Dr.#1 to use A & D, Dr.#2 prescribed premarin for several weeks and then surgery to remove my episotomy scar (NEVER EVER DO THIS UNLESS IT IS AN EMERGENCY-TERRIBLE PAIN) and no help. Dr.#3 premarin for several weeks due to atrophy, and no help. Now three years later, I am in worst shape with periarea and "butt crack" tears. I am married and  my husband and I have not had sexual intercourse for more than 3 years. This is not a good way to live, being always sore and bleeding. My skin feels and looks like it is peeling off, leaving open areas. I do not know what else to do and need help.

I have dealt with the same problems mentioned here since my early 20's. I am now in my 60's. I have never tested positive for any STD, no staph infection, no nothing.  No medical professional has ever been able to help with my condition, so I do a lot of research, listen very closely to what my body is telling me, and rely on natural and herbal supplements, as well as  alternative therapies. The burning rash, the  blisters, the skin that cracks and bleeds all vanished IMMEDIATELY when I stopped using the popular brand of toilet paper. I had been using what I thought was a quality paper.

I switched to "7th Generation" brand toilet paper, which is NOT BLEACHED or processed with any chemicals. This product has been a God-send. Recently, we ran out and a family member inadvertently picked up some of the toxic stuff and the rash came back instantly! So I ran to the store for my 7th Generation, and the rash disappeared immediately.  Wow, what a relief to no longer feel that horrendous torture!

I cannot recommend 7th Generation highly enough to all of you, and I hope that you will try it.  I promise, I am not in any way related to the company.

I'm so glad I found this site. I have a spot right by the opening of my vagina beside the little piece of flap by vagina opening. I know everybody's vagina looks different, but there is like two flap things right by the opening on each side. Anyway there is a spot on one side with a little pin ***** in the center. The pin ***** is almost clear. It's been there for almost 6 weeks now, and doesn't look like it's about to go away. There hasn't been any changes to it. It's sometimes sore to the touch, but not painful to pee, or no funny discharge. I'm always poking at it, to see if it hurts. I'm also always stretching my skin down there to look at it. I do this multiple times a day.

I pull on it, and poke at the area so much, I think I caused another pin ***** spot to show up. That spot doesn't hurt. I'm pretty sure it's from my fingernail poking the area. I've been tested for herpes before, and it was negative, but I'm so paranoid I look up symptoms, and everytime I read one like back pain, leg pain, headache, fever, etc...I all of a sudden have them. Anyone experience this? This is driving me crazy!
