A member asked:
If you had a yeast infection and scratched a lot, can the scratching cause sores on your vagina?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: Scratching can easily cause sores, especially of sensitive tissues like the vaginal area. But see a doctor if they don't heal quickly or if you otherwise remain concerned. Also, herpes is a common cause of genital sores, so see a doctor ASAP if you are at risk for STDs or might have been exposed to herpes.
