I have a long history (29 years) with herpes and recently had a massive outbreak. I was treated for yeast and bacterial vaginosis, and have been taking Valtrex. I also developed painful, hard, red, swollen lesions on my calf and labia. Could these lesions be related to shaving or a resurgence of a previous staph infection? What treatment options are available for the current symptoms, and how should I handle future pelvic exams and PAP smear results?

I'm experiencing a rash near the opening of my vagina on the left side. It started on Sunday night and comes and goes. There's a burning sensation but no itchiness, and it's red. What could this be?

I had my period on the 6th of May and I ovulated between the 18th and 22nd. I had sex on the 16th and I feel pregnant, but I've been bleeding for 4 days. My period is supposed to start on the 3rd of June. I took three pregnancy tests: the first was negative, the second showed positive on the day I started bleeding, and the third was negative. What could be happening?
