Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the peri menstrual period is usually containing raised number of micro organisms over the external genitalia due to hormone changes induced vaginal flora alteration. As there is transient drop in the immunity of the skin as well as general body system, there is sore development in various stages over the labia. However, the tampon induced sores must be ruled out prior to considering other options.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
