This does sound like a yeast infection. I've had many, as well. We normally have some bumps on the tissue surrounding our vaginal opening and when the tissues swell during a yeast infection, they become more pronounced and noticeable. The cracks are normal, too. It is just from the irritation and distress to those very sensitive and delicate tissues.
If you have regular yeast infections, go to the health food store and get an acidopholus supplement (in the refrigerated section!). Primadophulus by Nature's Way is the one I use and it is excellent. You only need to take it once a day and it is enteric coated so the flora in the capsule can survive its travel through your stomach. And eat at least two packages of yogurt per day, if you like it. I used to get yeast infections regularly and have not ever since starting on the acidopholus. ESPECIALLY if you ever have to take an antibiotic!
Caprylic Acid is also very useful for keeping yeast under control.
But all that said, you should definitely see your doctor and get an expert opinion on your present condition. For peace of mind. Your problem doesn't sound like herpes to me, though.
