Can A Herpes Sore On Vagina Bleed?

i need an answer from a gynecologist ... I have had herpes since 1988. Can a herpes sore bleed? I have had cervical cancer .. treatment was finished June 2008. Last check up was Dec. 2014. However, I noticed today after showering I had some blood on towel. Discovered a small sore about dime in size, was at the entrance of vagina. It is red and looks to be bloody, sore and a bit swollen.... and I am worried sick. I do not have sexual intercourse (over 20 yrs.)... I am 77 yrs. old. I am trying to call my dr. tomorrow morning for appointment...but want another opinion. Thank you.

Hi,

Genital sores can appear on the vulva, vagina, cervix, buttocks, anus or the upper thigh. The blisters of herpes may break and turn into sores, which may bleed or ooze a whitish fluid. These sores usually heal by scab over and eventually go away. Normally, these sore can take a week or so to completely heal.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General and Family Physician
