I went to my gynecologist because I was experiencing itching and redness after having sex, which the gynecologist suspected might be genital warts. She took a culture and treated the area, but two days later, the area is still red and itchy, with a strong smell but less discharge than usual. I'm unsure if the symptoms are due to the treatment, if I don't have genital warts, or if I have a yeast infection. What could be causing the continued itching and redness?

I have pain on my left labia and found a small white bump that is concerning. I'm 33 years old, had my last pap test over a year ago with no irregular results, and I'm not aware of any significant medical history. What could this bump be and what should I do about it?

I had sex yesterday and it was painful. The pain continues and now it hurts when I walk, sit down, or go to the bathroom. The pain is localized in my vagina and the lower left and right parts of my stomach. The pain is sharp. I am 25 years old, not taking any medications, and have no other medical conditions except for PCOS. My periods are irregular, and there is no vaginal discharge. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

I am nervous about a potential mole on my labia. I've had it for at least 5 years and it hasn't changed. There are no symptoms such as itching, pain, burning, or discharge. I recently started taking spironolactone for hormonal acne. Should I be concerned about this mole?
