What Causes Rashes With Small Boils Around The Anus And Vagina?

During my last period, I wore a pad for too long and got a rash and small boils around my vagina and anus. While the irritation is gone, I have just realized that there is a bump by my anus that I squeezed a little bit, leading me to realize that there is a larger mass under the skin about the size of a marble. What is it?

Hi dear!
I understand your concern and I will try to help you.

Small bumps after you have used pads may be due to any skin rash.
But we can't exclude herpes infection.
Hence better is to have a pelvic exam by your gynecologist.
Until you will have a gynecologist exam try with Sitz baths adding betadini solution.
