Hello,
What you are describing seems like a fungal/ yeast infection. That comes maybe because the brand of pads you used do not circulate the air very good. I suggest taking single dose of Fluconazole 150 mg or using Ketoconazole 2% cream for 3 days. Also wear cotton underwear and wash your vulva only with water, not with soap.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
