I am writing today because i am very worried about someone i developed about a week ago. About a weeek ago when i got my menstruation, i developed a painful rash at the area between the end of my vagina ( surrounding area) all the way to the buttocks. I figured it was because of the pad that i was wearing and because i went dancin the night before and sweated a lot down there and stuff. Well, the morning after, i decide to take a look at my rash and saw that it was VERY red, flesh colored and it hurt A LOT, so i began to put diaper rash oninment on it and the pain is gone, but the redness it still very much there, but it seems dry now.Well, i also noticed that i have 2 sores on each side of the labia (kind of like the tears u get from havig unlubricated sex) that sting like hell. I am very afraid that this might be an STD or something horrile like that, but i am hoping that it is from the kotex. I havent had sex for about 2 weeks so it couldnt be form that either. If anybody has any idea what this might be, please help me out. I am very depressed and aggravated because i have no clue whta this could be. Thank you for reading my post and God bless!!
