Hello,
It could be friction dermatitis related to the sanitary pad. I would recommend you to apply topical antifungal steroid cream like beclomethasone clotrimazole cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for 1 week.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney
