since you have yeast often you can have an overgrowth of a certain fungus that naturally lives in the vagina, you should talk to a doc about that.
and the cuts (and also tears) is from sexual activity and dryness in a combo, add some lubricant while having your fun time
Hello, thank you so much for your reply! I'm usually not so dry. I've only been dry for a few days never happened before. I'm unfortunately not in a position to visit my doctor right now. but the infection does seem to be getting better!
I read somewhere online that hsv 2 can also look like paper cuts which really got me worried. I've been meaning go get tested and hopefully I will he able to soon!
ive had these theyre usually yeast infections, hsv2 would take minimum 4 days to heal.
its been four to five days since the cuts appeared. there is a chance that i might have been exposed to hsv 1 or 2 or both at some point. Just hoping for the best 🤞 Thanks! Alex
what do you mean there is a chance? somebody has it that you slept with ?
Someone I slept with also had some abnormal itching and burning. Neither of us have had a chance to get tested so we don't know for sure
i still say it could be thrush they could also have thrush symptoms. herpes can be in paper cut form but i have had these exact ones in bad cases of thrush, it doesnt seem ypical of herpes altho its possible. have u had aches, sore throat or legs, temperature etc? a first outbreak os usually the worst and accompanied with these symptoms and would feel painful. r the cuts painful to touch?
Oh, okay. I have had some very mild aches in my thighs but I also started exercising recently. Maybe a bit of a sore throat too but thats probably because of the weather here everyone is catching colds. It is painful to touch but not too bad. its very very itchy and burns when I pee. Its much better today though.
The itching and pain was much worse two to three days back. I wasn't able to sleep properly even. Today the cuts look like theyve healed more too and less itching. Im really dry down there though which is unusual for me
the cuts could be from the dryness tho. its good that its healing. have u booked a drs appointment ?
Yes, the cuts are much better now. I'm still having itching near the vagina. My doctor is out due to covid right now :( and there's a strict lockdown here too
i think it is a yeast infection herpes woudlnt heal that quickly
Okay thank you

i also experienced dryness, but lots of discharge- sometimes odorless but sometimes smelled very much like yeast. also have noticed many cuts like this down there. being tested for hsv2 in a few weeks, did you ever get a diagnoses?

Yes it was negative
