Hello,in mid-Nov.I had some kind of vaginal infection which didn't receive treatment for. The top of my labia(in the fold of skin to the right side of the clitoral hood) was very itchy and I had a smelly, heavier than usual vaginal discharge.I figured it was yeast or some bact/fungal infection and would clear up.It DID clear up on its own after a couple weeks.Each day at that time I looked at the itchy area and saw 2-3 very small circular holes.2 of them are tiny-pin-prick-sized holes.The 3rd is slightly larger in diameter.None of them are very deep,they are just below the surface of the skin,as if the skin was slightly broken.Im wondering what might might have caused this.It's now middle of Feb. and these marks are still in the area. My vagina is normal again-no itch,discharge,smell,but these breaks are still there?Might they be permanent?Can vaginal infections cause this to happen to the skin?I've heard yeast/fungus/bact.can cause this.I also have herpes with about 1-2 outbreaks/yr.
