Hello, 11 weeks postpartum. My husband and I tried to get back into things and used some lube as directed. Since then, I have a rash, itchiness, and red/white spots. I’m not sure if it’s an allergic reaction or a yeast infection. The itchiness comes and goes, but at times is constant, and there is pain when I wipe. I have no known allergies and am 11 weeks postpartum from a vaginal delivery. I’ve had a yeast infection years ago and have sensitive skin all over. There are bumps present, red with whiteness on the top, some are tender/itchy. I’m not sure if the whiteness is that they’re filled with something. Additionally, I just noticed a lump in my groin on the left side only, which is tender to touch.

I recently got the Nexplanon birth control implant and am experiencing yeast infection symptoms (itchiness, discomfort, and pain) without discharge. This issue also occurred when I was on the mini pill. What could be causing this and is there a way to balance my pH levels to alleviate these symptoms?

I'm 18 years old and noticed abnormal vaginal discharge yesterday, which changed from clear with small white particles to yellow later in the day. My vagina is a little red and it's painful when I pee. I don't have abdominal pain, and my last menstrual cycle was in mid/late July. I'm sexually active with one consistent partner and have been screened for STDs before. I started over-the-counter yeast infection medication but developed a fever of 101.4 F, which reduced after treatment, but is now 101.2 F with consistent headaches. I also have a slight mucus buildup in my throat. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

Can cervical cryotherapy cause periods to act weird? I have always had normal periods every 28 days, bleeding for 5 days since I was 11. I had cryotherapy in March to treat cervical dysplasia, and since then, I've had irregular periods with varying lengths and blood flow. I also experienced a severe yeast infection in May that didn't respond to treatment until my period became irregular. Additionally, I've started experiencing burning sensations on my thighs and folliculitis despite good hygiene practices. What could be causing these changes?

Why am I bleeding after completing my period 5 days ago, especially after having sex and taking Plan B?

I recently shaved and used boric acid, which led to clear bumps and irritation in the genital area. The bumps have been present for about 4 days, are itchy, and have started bleeding. I am also experiencing white, milky discharge. I am concerned about the possibility of herpes, especially since I had unprotected sex the night before the breakout. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
