Since February I’ve been experiencing an itch on the vulva close to urethra I’ve been to the doctors twice they prescribed antibiotics but it hasn’t work I’ve had a fungal cream which hasn’t helped so I had an investigation with a mirror and next to my urethra is a hole bigger than the pee hole and it is extremely itchy sore tender, I had cin 3 cells on cervix 2 years ago and treatment for endometriosis at the end of march. What is it why has a hole appeared freaking out. 
any replies thank you x

    Hiya so all swabs and tests came back clear no infection I also showed the nurse the picture and I think she understood then how strange this was looking through gyne referrals all looking at next year but then she found one for next week with a urinary/gyne. Symptoms still the same fingers crossed they have answers any tips for that appointment? Will a biopsy be likely?  Thank you all xx

    I'm really glad that you have an appointment sorted. It's difficult to say whether they will do a biopsy there and then but they should definitely have a look. It might be worth getting together any photos you have of the area in case they show any changes over time and also maybe keep a short diary leading up to your appointment detailing any changes or how bad the itching is on a scale of 1 to 10. Try and take someone with you if possible just in case they do decide to do a biopsy.....it can be uncomfortable particularly if you have to drive after. Have a think if you have any questions you would like to ask them and write them down......I always struggled to remember what I wanted to ask once I got in there so I started writing everything down. Good luck and let me know how you get on. Xx

    Hello and thank you for updating us.

    It's difficult to say exactly what will happen at the appointment, but I would expect them to do a physical examination and ask you about your medical history.

    If they want to biopsy anything they will go through that with you, but it may be arranged for another time.

    Take care and I hope you get more information soon.

    Sarah.
