Okay so the past few times I’ve had my period.. after using the sanitary towels… I’ve like had a rash on the lower area of my buttocks and my fanny. I have pcos and do have quite heavy periods but am on transexamic acid and metformin for the pcos. I’m not entirely sure what’s causing it. I have a feeling it might be the sanitary towel brand I’m using that causes the rash . But when I spoke to my mum about it today she suggested it might be a hormonal imbalance causing it - which does make sense in someways as people who have pcos often have higher testosterone levels than those without pcos. However my mum also suggested it might be threadworms/pinworms but that doesn’t quite make sense as I only have this problem when I like get my monthly .
I’m using a cream called vagisil and sudocrem both seem to help and the rash goes within usually a few days however this time the rash is still there and it’s been a week since my monthly finished.. the rash isn’t as bad as it was and it is definitely going down. My mum has like suggested I see a dr but I don’t really want to do that and feel very embarrassed.. I’m overweight and am self concious so seeing is a dr about this is a big eeeek
