Needs an exam: It sounds like you have a recurring genital ulceration. The timing with Depo is likely coincidental. The most common cause of a recurrent genital ulceration is genital herpes. A doctor needs to do an exam when the lesion is present to do testing.. Other causes are possible too but an exam will be needed to sort this out.
