It sounds like you might be experiencing a skin reaction or infection in the vulvar and analysis regions. The initial whitish itchy bumps and subsequent ring-like patches could indicate a few possible conditions.
1. Contact dermatitis (allergic reactions to the materials in the sanitary pads or other products used in the area).
2. Fungal infection (eg candidiasis) these infections are common in moist areas and can present as itchy, whitish patches that may become ring-like as they heal.
Some steps you can take:
1. Keep the area clean and dry. Wash gently with mild, unscented soap and water. Pat dry thoroughly.
2. Avoid irritants. Use unscented, hypoallergenic products and avoid tight clothing that can cause friction.
3. Moisturize.
Given the persistence and location of the patches, it's important to consult the dermatologist or gynecologist. You can consult the doctor online or visit the clinic. They may need to:
•perform a physical examination
• take a skin swab or biopsy
•prescribe medication tailored to the underlying cause such as antifungal or steroid.
This is fungal infection.
Needs proper evaluation. recommend scheduling a consultation so I can provide you with a personalized treatment plan.
