After being in the hospital, I noticed blackheads near my inner thigh, which I picked at. Now, I have 2 or 3 large blood blisters on both sides of my labia majoris. One popped yesterday, emitting a fair amount of blood. I also have ongoing issues with candida and facial herpes. I'm currently treating a toe cuticle infection with Dakin's solution and Bactroban. Should I apply Dakin's solution to the labial blisters followed by Bactroban? These blisters do not feel like herpes blisters and are filled with blood. I cannot see a doctor until next week. Any home care recommendations, such as warm compresses or using iodine solution to dry them up?

I have had a rash/blistery area on the very outside of my vagina for about 2 months now. It started after I shaved. I am 26 and have never had this reaction before after shaving. I have had a similar issue once before and it was some kind of allergic reaction. The bump is non-painful, a little red, and itches once in a while. I have been placing cortizone cream on it but have not had any success with completely getting rid of it. What could this be?

I am a 40-year-old female trying to get pregnant. My period has lasted for 8 days this month, which is highly abnormal for me as my usual cycle is about 3 days. What could be causing this prolonged menstrual cycle?

I had a da Vinci surgery on March 29, where both ovaries and tubes were removed along with a cyst. A week later, I experienced severe pain under my right ribcage, which was managed with Percocet. I am still experiencing significant pain in the same area, especially when standing up, and cannot lay on either side. My doctor said I shouldn't be feeling pain this far out, but the pain is sometimes hard to stand up straight. How long should I expect this type of pain to last, and could it be due to a pinched nerve or other complications?

I have had a Bartholin cyst since December, which is not painful. In the past, I experienced painful Bartholin cysts that burst after taking antibiotics. Recently, I had slight pain during urination on the third day of my period after holding my urine for 20 minutes. Today, on the sixth day of my period, I am still experiencing spotting. What should I do about these issues?
