What Causes Ulcer Type Of Sore On The Wall Of Vagina?
Yes. Am online trying to find answers to why an ulcer type sore has appeared on the wall of my outer vaginal area. At first I thought it was from wearing tight clothes while exercising. I've been under a great deal of stress from a divorce. Have not had sex since Oct. 29. Hurts when I pee. It does not match pictures of herpes. There are other small, pinprick (maybe 3 or 4) spots on the opposite wall which may or may not be related. When I put a piece of toilet paper up to it there was a spot of blood on the tissue. Several years ago (maybe intimated from spider bites on the back of the neck) I developed overnight an "arthritic" type big toe joint that was red, inflamed and painful to the touch. I also have Hashimoto's and a family history of autoimmune disease. Could this be stress, auto-immune related? I've heard some comment about Bechet's, or Shogrin's, or Celiac disease (Ive tested negative but could still be possible), or shingles…what are aphthous ulcers?

Hello friend,
Welcome to healthcaremagic. I read your query and understood your concer.
Such kind of sores on vagina are usually due to hepes genitalis, candidiasis.
The presentation may vary , it may not be classical always.
is there any kind of discharge from vagina?
More likely your presentation is going in favor of herpes genitalis.
In behcets, one gets recurrent ulcers on genitalia and oral cavity.
I will advice you some blood tests: HSV antibodies IgG and IgM type, Hemoglobin, TLC/DLC, urine routine and microscopy.
Aphthous ulcers are due to trauma.
This much i can help with these details. You get your test reports and talk to me so that i can help you further.
