Vaginal tear or herpes sore....do they look the same?

They can!: We think of herpes sores as fluid-filled blisters, but they can look like small skin splits - and a variety of other bumps, too. Herpes lesions will generally scab over. I hope you are getting checked by your doctor. There are medications available to treat and ease the course of herpes - but not to make it go away completely. Good luck. Lgromkomd.

Yes: Herpes can present as a small tear in the vaginal mucosa that can be indistinguishable from the tears we see after normal intercourse. The herpes lesion however will often recur in the same location and will be more painful than a tear from intercourse. Yeast can also be associated with mucosal tears.
