taking valtrex (in case it's herpes but lab results were negative), brio for asthma, restasis for eyes, multi-vitamins.
sexual only with husband.
no trauma. have been diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome.
open red sore on vulva, sometimes bleeds a little, tender around the entire area, itchy at times. Have had herpes in that area and that's what I thought it would be this time around but lab doesn't confirm.

Brief Answer:
It could be due to Sjogren's syndrome.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In my opinion, it is due to Sjogren's syndrome (recurrent vaginal infection may occur)or it could be due to infection caused by fungus as well. ( superimposed with bacterial infection).
You can use over the counter antifungal medicine for the same.
