With your medical history and the medical history of your family I can understand not wanting to go to the doctor. But those of us that volunteer on this site are not doctors and we cannot give out medical advice. What we can do is urge you to do what is the correct thing to do in this situation which is to seek medical help.
Going to the doctor does not mean you will be confronted with the news that you have some type of Cancer. There are a number of things that can cause vaginal sores most of which if not all can only be treated by a doctor. Left untreated things can get worse to the point of leaving you sterile. How would you feel years from know if you do not go to the doctor when you try to have children and find that the sore has caused you to be sterile. Had you seen a doctor when you where 16 it was easily treatable but now will require major surgery and removal of vital reproductive organs.
Think about it; not everything is Cancer. And what if it is; not all Cancer’s are death sentences today. If found early enough many Cancers can be treated successfully, with Chemo, Radiation Therapy and Surgery. Advances in Cancer Treatments are learned every day.
Just after Christmas my wife of almost 40 years found a lump in her Breast. Our family doctor sent her to a Surgeon who ordered MRI’s, X-Rays and a Biopsies. They found two tumors one she felt and one hiding behind a milk duct; they were both cancerous. My wife after consulting with all her doctors opted for a mastectomy. Today a Mastectomy is not as radical as it once was. All they took was Breast tissue and 15 lymph nodes. They left the muscles and chest wall. As recently as 10 years ago they would have taken everything in sight. The Oncologist was not happy with the pathology of one of the tumors. Here again recent advances saved my wife from radical treatment. The tumor was sent off to a Lab in California with special techniques they developed for tracing the genecology of a tumor. This test scored so low that my wife’s only treatment is a hormone pill for the next five years. This lab was only certified to do this test within the last 3 years.
My point is this; the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t know. Meaning you can be just as hurt by what you do not know by what you do know. So call your Doctor. Tell your parents so they can help you too. When you have a diagnosis, good, bad or indifferent get on the web and research your diagnosis. Find out everything you can. Find out what treatments work best, what doctors and hospital specialize in your diagnosed ailment. The more you know about what is wrong with you the better you are able to fight it.
The best tool for fighting anything is a positive attitude. Doctors and modern medicine can only do so much. A positive attitude can help you win any battle and goes a long way in the fight against diseases such as cancer. See your doctor and good luck.

I hate to break it to you, but you're probably going to have to go to the doctor. With your history of cancer especially you want to get things checked as soon as possible. The pain could mean many things, and since you missed your period this could also mean other things as well. In the end, no one on here is going to know exactly what you're going through. I know it sucks, but going to the doctor really doesnt have to be that bad. Find a doctor that you're comfortable with, even if it means meeting with a few ahead of time. I hope everything works out!

Well it could be something it could be nothing, It could be cancer or an STD or it could just be nothing but like a pore thats clogged. But either way i would suggest going to see a docter if cancer does run in your family and youv had battles with other types of cancer. I hope iv helped let me know how things turn out.
