General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the multiple symptoms of rashes on skin, sore nipples, loss of appetite and tiredness do indicate significant systemic inflammatory response to underlying pathology. The usual cases do refer to bacterial infection most likely.

As per my surgical experience, the 20 days menses of heavy flow do require significant number of need of changes of pads and during which there may be high chances of retained tampon inside the vagina. It is the issue of Toxic shock syndrome which presents in this fashion via response of T cells of the body to retained tampons or pads kept for a long period of time inside body cavity making it prone to harbor staph aureus types bug and produce toxins.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
