Does anyone get tiny, paper-like cuts "down there"??? They aren't blisters...just like someone took a piece of paper and cut the skin...any info would be greatly appreciated because I'm clueless!

Is it around the time you have intercourse? He could be causing you to tear. Or if you tend to stay dry when you wipe you could be tearing. The best advice I could give you is to have a doc check it out.

your prolly just dry or something...try using lube during sex. i don't know...never had the problem, but it sounds like you make just be tearing like dude said. i'd get it checked out to be sure.

I've just had my second occurence of these paper like cuts, and my doctor is fairly certain it's herpes, esp because this time I got 2 teeny little warts (I hadn't even noticed them, they were so small). I'm a 22 yr old virgin, but me and my bf have engaged in oral sex, and in the past he's had one or two cold sores. Even though he hasn't had an actual sore in years, he still carries the virus, and this is the only way I could have gotten this. So be careful. I'm a virgin with an STD, and I got it from a guy who doesn't have any STDs.

I get this too, where it looks lijke a cut. For me it seems to be part and parcel of an OB, but may not be the case with everyone.

I occasionally get eczema down there, which for me goes hand in hand with thrush, where the skin splits (urgh) in a similar way. But every time i have an OB in this particular spot (towards my anus), there is the 'paper cut' again.

Hope this helps.
