Are you totally certain it was not there before? Certainly BV can't bore a hole in a vaginal lip. No pain, no pus, no ulcer suggests it is something of long standing. Vaginal lips can have these from the beginning, also.

But, if you are absolutely certain it is not the way your lips were before, be sure to mention to the doctor that you think you might have BV, and see what he or she thinks of the possibility that you in fact have chlamydia and are mistaking it for BV. I think I have read that one of its possible results (not that common) is a hole in the labia, from a pustule that breaks open and leaves a hole behind. I assume you were tested for chlamydia when you had your baby, right? So (if you got tested then but have it now) the fact that the hole is not looking new and raw might suggest that you got infected between the baby's birth and long enough ago for it to give you some kind of a pustule that broke and healed. Maybe (if this speculation turns out to be true) that kind of timeline would help you figure out who could have given you chlamydia, and you could tell him, so you and he can both get treated. The main thing is, you should get treated if you do turn out to have chlamydia, because it can have a long-term negative impact on fertility in women.
