General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
It appears that you have developed an allergic reaction for the pads you have used, which has caused burning sensation in vagina during periods.
You need to wash the area with warm water using mild antiseptic like Savlon. You can apply Zinc oxide, glycerol and liquid paraffin containing cream twice daily. Keep the area ventilated by wearing loose undergarments till your symptoms subside completely. Also abstain from intercourse during this period.
Hope the information provided is clear.
All the best.
