My period is 4 days late and I’ve just seen a little spot of blood. I’m not using any contraceptives and my last period began on July 14. I’ve never had a pap test and my doctor wants me to wait until I’m 21. I urinate a lot and feel a little more tired than usual. What should I do?

I have a painful lump in my inner labia that stretches from the side of my clitoris to outside of my vagina. The entire vulva and anus area is very itchy, burns, and hurts to pee and go to the bathroom. I have been experiencing these symptoms for the past 4 days and they have not improved. I am 20 years old and have been diagnosed with lichen sclerosus in the past, but this current condition is more severe. I have had unprotected sex with multiple partners, some of whom I do not know their health status. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
