List of other diseases, conditions, or injuries and their treatment: about a day before i noticed the sore, my vagina was bleeding but it was not my menstrual period.
Have a diagnosis for the current condition: no
Current medical status: i have not been to the doctor recently and last time it was just a check up which came out that I'm healthy
Current medical treatment: I am not currently taking any medications

That white sore in your vaginal area could represent an infection. It is not normal and you should consult a gynecologist about this.
