What is a pea-sized crater-like sore by your vaginal opening that doesn't itch or burn and hasn't spread or grown and appeared when you had a yeast infection and you tested negative for STDs?

This sounds like it could be a chancre, which is the first sign of a syphilis infection. You should go back to your doctor and mention this specifically. However, it could be other things as well, so the doctor will have to take a look. It is important to get treatment though (easy, one shot of penicillin), because although the sore will go away if it is syphilis, the infection will still be in the body and there will be consequences down the road such as infection in the brain.

If you were taking 25 mg per day of Lamictal and it was increased to 150 mg per day would this cause very bad itching on your sides upper arms and your eyes?

Rash and itching are some of the possible side effects of Lamictal. If you truly have problems with your eyes, or if the rash has become severe, it is important to see a physician since there are possible severe reactions to this and other medications. A dose of 25 mg of Lamictal is very low and is generally just a starting dose; we often increase the dose slowly to help reduce side effects and help improve how well the medication is tolerated, but some people do have problems with medications despite this. Hope this helps! Dr. B.
