A person may develop pad rash from various materials or chemicals that come into contact with the vulva. Most rashes from pads are the result of contact dermatitis. This means your skin has come in contact with something irritating in your sanitary pad.
The treatment of pad rash may vary depending on the exact cause. Some common methods to deal with pad rash are
– use unscented pads.
– wear loose cotton underwear to reduce friction.
– try a cotton top pad without any gels
– apply an over-the-counter rash relief cream to the outer vulva area if it’s affected
– change pads frequently to prevent them from becoming too moist and increasing your risk of irritation.
