I have Irritated skin on Labia

So I recently had my period everything was fine until one day i woke up and I felt my "lips" were burning.  So I shaved that same morning and I noticed my skin was irritated so I figured it was due to the pad I wore because I was already half way through and I did not have this before. So now my period is done but my skin is now the lips are red and irritated the skin is kinda lifted so you can see the little skin squares  I have no bumps if I do it's from shaving  or anything  so I don't think it's herpes or anything like that but my skin gets really dry near my Anal   where I can scratch off the skin.and is sometimes  itchy ..I've been putting the aloe vera pant on it and I feel it's helped a little bit

Since you have a start of when it happened and shaving directly preceded it (and not unprotected sex)---  you may have given yourself razor burn.  I'd try to leave it all alone as much as possible to see if it heals.  If not, really, you should see a doctor.  You mention herpes.  All sexually active people should have routine screening for std's so if you haven't done that in a while, it's never a bad idea.  good luck
