as far as a smell and discharge after your period, It is just left over from the end of the cycle and the vag's way of cleaning out.  I wouldnt be worried.

Do you practice safe sex?  I would get tested for those "pimples".  What do the pimples look like exactly?  and the foul smell may mean an infection, I would also get cultures.

It could be infection like BV. It usually has a strong fishy odor that doesn't go away even after bathing. Plus the odor is stronger durning your period and after sex.
