Thanks for your query.

I can assure you that your split it is very common, and not a sign of infection. Usually due to irritation or dryness or friction, and we'll resolve and heal with the cream.

Please be aware that any cut in the skin can be an area where infection can spread from another person during sexual intercourse to you. So if you have a new partner, it would be beneficial to wear protection.
