i have vaginal sores right near the vaginal opening- they look almost oval shaped and are whitish in color. no seeping, no fever, no swollen glands- just the sores... i have had painful periods for the past three months and this is the first time i have looked to see if there are sores- previous pain for only duration of period, these sores are still open though. three months ago i had an unexplained topical rash all over my body that was flat and patchy- not really itchy, similar to hives, that lasted three weeks and occured the same time as the first painful period- both started immediately after taking out my nuvaring
