A member asked:

I was scratching my vagina and around it and developed cuts then my cycle came in but was very light and afterward the cuts look like sores?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sores: If the lesions are painful, consult your gynecologist as a herpes infection may be present and,if so, should be treated.
