A member asked:

Do sores inside the vaginal lips automatically mean hsv?

Dr. Traci Buxton answered

No: There are several types of infections that can cause vaginal sores as well as just irritation from excess moisture or wearing chafing clothing. You should have an examination to determine the cause.
