I noticed a blister/pimple-like spot near my vagina when I came home, along with itching and a constant yellow discharge with an odor. I'm concerned it could be genital herpes. When did the discharge start, is there a noticeable odor, and when was your last period? Are you sexually active and was the last sexual encounter protected?

I’m having a pregnancy scare. My last period was July 8-9, and I’m on day 36 of my cycle now. We used the pull-out method, but it was quick, and he swears he pulled out in time. I take Adderall and Omeprazole regularly. My cycles vary between 29-34 days, with one instance of a 40-day cycle a few years ago.
