Why do I have one vaginal fissure?
Last week I noticed some itching and white discharge. Went and got monistat 7 and those symptoms went away in 2 days. I had one extremely small vaginal fissure up by my clitoral hood but it went away after 2 days. Now I have another one in a similar spot. It is in the folds of the skin and cannot even be seen unless I stretch the skin. It only stings to the touch. It is extremely shallow and dry, no oozing or fluid. No scabbing or blisters. I keep touching it to see if it still hurts/is still there. Could I be preventing it from healing? Also, is this something I should be concerned about? I've heard fissures can happen with yeast infections but my other symptoms cleared up, so why is this one fissure still here? Finally, I've noticed the skin around my labia is dry, it flakes when I touch it. Could this be possibly causing the fissure?
