Hi my 4 year old had sore throat cold sore ulcer in the mouth and now a small sore on her vagina, all which I thought this all sounded of symptoms of herpes.Im her mum and my partner gave me this due to a one night stand! The doc says it was def not herpes and was 100% sure. I m not convinced as she been itching too.I know this doesn t have to be contracted through sex (obviously being only 4!) What do you think?

Hello, thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually the type of symptoms which you are mentioning it looks that, she is having Behcets syndrome, In it there are ulcers seen in the oral cavity as well as genital ulcers.
But there is nothing to worry about it , as it is self limiting it heals on its own. in severe cases doctors prescribe steroids.
Better you should visit a dermatologist and complete examination done.
Hope it will help you.
