My vagina feels inflamed and uncomfortable. It has been tender to the touch for three days, and I suspect it might be an allergic reaction due to a recent switch in detergent, as I have sensitive skin. I am 23 years old, not exposed to unsafe sex, and do not have vaginal discharge. What could be causing this inflammation and what can I do to alleviate the discomfort?

I am 35 years old and experienced spotting on May 19, which I thought was the start of my period. My last period was on April 27, and my cycle is typically 28 days. I use condoms but not consistently from the start of intercourse. My last sexual encounter was on May 8. I am concerned about the spotting and want to know if it could be implantation bleeding or another issue.

I have taken a pregnancy test on Tuesday which came back negative. However, when I took another test last night, a white line appeared where the positive line should be, causing confusion and anxiety. Are the test results positive, or is this something I shouldn't worry about?
