    Sore inside labia?
    I am 18 weeks pregnant, and I recently found what looks like to be a canker sore on the inside of my labia. It is almost a perfect circle with a almost white center. It didn't start like this however. It started feeling like a tiny, itchy, bug bite. I sqeezed it and I thought it was the end of it. I was wrong. It now doesn't even look that bad, I have to pull on my labia to even see the sore, but it only hurts when I wipe after I pee. It is flush with the rest of my skin, and not in a place I normally grow hair. I am pregnant and more "wet" then usual. Please, tell me does this sound like Herpes? I had a Pap smear when I first found out I was pregnant, and haven't been sexually active due to my husband being deployed. All my test results have come back normal, so should I be worried? Any advice?:confused:

    This has all the ear marks of herpes. You don't have to be sexually active for this to pop up. You could have gotten this from a toilet seat. No, I am not joking. This is for real. Over in Russia at their hospitals and international airports they literally spray the toilet seats several times a day for just that. They use 97% isopropyl alcohol. Think back to when you first noticed this problem. Then count back about 2-3 days. That's when you got infected. Please, by all means see your doctor and have this looked at. The fact it hurts when you pee tells me that it's an open sore (like you described) and it won't just magically go away by itself.

    Hey look up bartholin's abcess I have had those before, they can get pretty sore and sometimes large. If they do get bad usually antibiotics clears em' up. I got them frequently when I was trying to conceive. I guess from not showering right away. A bath in epsom salts is recommended. Good luck
