What causes scabs to appear on your vagina?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See doctor: A variety of things from infected hair follicles, to STDs, to dermatology conditions, to skin cancer could all cause sores/scabs on the vagina/vulva. See doctor ASAP for further evaluation.

My vagina has been in a lot of pain. Sexually active. Seems like its inflamed, a lot of scabs have come about around. Cant touch the inside, hurts.
The skin on my vagina has little boils and scabs for the last week. There's no pain, but it's very itchy and irritating. Everything else is normal.
Every month 3 days before my period i would get these bumps that really hurt then burst and leave a cut on my vagina but no scabs is that normal ?
