Can you get sores in your vagina from scratching when you have a yeast infection or vaginist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but...: You can get sores from scratching. But there are several other things that can cause sores in the vagina. You really should be seen by a health care providers to have a look at those and to make sure they are not another problem that is just happening along with the yeast infection.
