I had sex with my boyfriend a week ago and noticed some small cuts at the entrance of the vagina, which developed into an ulcer and was extremely painful. I've been prescribed lidocaine gel, an antibiotic, and an antiviral. Since using the lidocaine gel, I've developed blisters. Could the blisters be a reaction to the lidocaine gel, or can you develop ulcers first and blisters later with herpes?

I have a vaginal ultrasound scheduled today that I'm terrified for. I had a D&C and Mirena IUD inserted right after about a year ago. Since then, I have been unable to have sex because it is so painful to the vaginal walls. I tried to get the IUD removed but the strings broke, and it was said to be embedded. This experience was so excruciating that I have been terrified to get the ultrasound ever since, due to the pain in the vaginal walls. Is there any way I can ease the pain for my ultrasound today? I need this IUD out as it has caused so many problems physically and mentally.
