Have Small, Open, Sore Crack On Labia Minora, Not Painful Unless Touched. What It May Be?

I have a small, open, canker sore-like crack on the inside of my labia minora . I ve been with the same person for 4 years and have never experienced any issues down there. It s not really painful unless I touch it. I think it may be due to whiping after using the bathroom. The skin on my LM is extremely thin, so I think it s just irritated, but I m worried it may be something else. Any ideas?

Hello ma'am and welcome.

In majority of the cases a canker-like sore is associated with a sexually transmitted infection (eg. Herpes), which is why all sores around the genital region need to be examined and investigated.

In your specific case it does sound like you are prone to damaging the region if you are too rough, but neither the less, get this examined for both your and my satisfaction.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
