Hi,
Usually there is poor local hygiene during period leading to some irritation and soreness producing small bumps.
Blood is good medium to grow bacteria giving rise infection.
Another possibility of having some irritation or allergic reaction due to sanitary pads.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy particularly during period.
Change sanitary pads frequently.
Ok and take care.
