Hello and welcome to HCM,
The rash that you have mentioned on the external genitalia is very much suggestive of a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
You need to abstain from sexual activity till the rash is treated.
You need to consult your gynecologist for clinical examination and appropriate treatment of the infection.
Your partner also needs to be treated.
The itchiness, dark line under the breast can be due to fungal infection of the skin.
You should keep the skin dry and anti-fungal ointment can be used.
Irregular menstrual cycles are commonly seen in healthy females.
If the periods are irregularly irregular, you need to consult your gynecologist for investigations and management.
Thanks and take care
