TMI cut that won't heal *down there*

i have posted in general health but it is very quiet over there and just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience

have bleeding after sex, clear smear turns out I have a small cut/lesion on the opening of my vagina at the bottom DH had a look and seen it months ago after I had been bleeding for a while after sex so now it's been a year. Last night I had enough got him to take a pic and sure enough there it is not loads of blood but some when I wipe after.

went to the drs today who said it looks like a hack (cut) she is concerned that it's not healed but said she doesn't think it's cancerous as it would have got bigger and began to smell.

All Google says is an open sore that doesn't heal is usually the first sign of vulva cancer. I went about this issue in august and was examined by a different GP who didn't mention anything about the cut but then neither did I as I didn't know it was there. Anyone any experience of this

Cuts of mine which don't heal well are due to psoriasis- could it potentially be that?

Could it be Lichen Sclerosus?

It's not itchy or sore. It only bleeds after sex no other time. It's red not white which I thought LS was?

she has refered me to gynae as urgent but not red flagged (which is cancser suspected) so taking that as a good sign

I'm thinking Lichen Sclerosus.

Is it splitting from sex? I have this nearly every time I have sex but it heals in between, but I don't have sex very often

see I just don't know because it doesn't bother me at all only after sex when it bleeds or I wouldn't even know it is there.

I have the same, it's painful!

It can be a wee bit stingy after

I am glad you're getting referred OP.

My sister had bleeding from a wound at the opening of her vagina and it was a form of cancer so important to get it checked. She is absolutely fine now after a short course of treatment, no chemo needed.

Did she have it for long just worried I've left it too long

so glad she's ok now

She did leave it for a while because the doctor originally thought it would heal by itself. I didn't mean to make you worry, sorry, more to confirm it's a good idea to get checked. You'll be seen soon so youve done the right thing. All my fingers crossed for you.

No I appreciate your response. I'm glad I went today just a bit cross that I had went in august and the doctor didn't see it told me all was fine.
