Changes on vulva

I had my baby via section a year ago and since then have had paper cut like cuts on my labia around 4 times (not itchy and not at a certain time in cycle) I've also got a lymph node that's been up in my groin for years. Neither of these things have ever had a second thought however I've just been cleaning myself and noticed one side of my labia in one part has turned really dark in colour I cant be certain but pretty sure it didnt look like that before. Normal after a baby/in general or do I need to see a Gp? I'm 25 and fit and well. TIA

Labia darkens from pregnancy hormones and stay so. The cut sounds like an STD.

Nobody can diagnose over the internet. See your gp and make sure all is ok.

The cuts could be lichen sclerosis, but any changes need to be looked at.

The cuts sound like lichen sclerous. It’s Treatable but you need to see gp for some steroid cream. I suffer from LS and a flare up is n it nice at all.

NOT nice that should say!

I haven't got an std thankyou been faithful to my husband for 10 years and was tested in pregnancy and before hand. I will see the gp I'm just not in a hurry to get my privates out to a stranger and wondered if any of it was normal. Thankyou to posters who have actually been helpful, thankyou @whatelsecouldibecalled I'll look at that and mention when I go x

@Needingsupportplease in the mean time you can use use 1% hydrocortisone cream to relief some itching
