Rash during menstruation


Posted by mahenry06

As an infant I had to wear certain diapers because I would break out in a rash. Now I'm a young adult and every menstrual cycle I get a terrible rash caused by the sanitary pads. I've changed brands continuously. It's like a diaper rash or a heat rash. It's very tender, and deep dark red. The surface of my skin is raised, but not bumpy. I get the rash on my lower buttocks near the anus and on my genitals. Is there a link between my diaper problems as an infant and my sanitary pad problem as an adult? What can I do about it? What causes it....etc?

Diapers and sanitary products are made of the same materials. You can get organic, chemical free sanitary pads at places like Whole Foods, Holistic Beauty, or other heath food stores.
