Awesome! Hope all is going well~ Small cuts just sounds like irritation from something that may have been on your clothing/hands or something topical.. Nevertheless, the Dr will fix ya rightup! Enjoy your holiday!

Your best bet is to visit a GYN. It could be something as simple as skin irritation or a reaction to topical creams. On the contrary, it could be one of the many forms bacterial infections common in women..which you would need Rx to resolve..The type of discharge (if any) is a huge clue to whats going on with you. Please, please use protection each and every time you and your partner are active. There are many women & men who have contracted various "situations" from their first time partners..Keep in mind, you are "active" with anyone he has been active with..
Wish you all the best! Visit a GYN as soon as possible~
