    Hi, it look like a bad yeast infection or contact dermatitis to me. What are your symptoms?

      Have you tried a new soap, detergent, fragrance toilet paper, or maybe pads (I see your on your period)?

      If it's not itching, I doubt it's yeast. It definitely looks like contact dermatitis.

      Put nothing until it resolves, no soap, no cream... Wear loose clothing and no underwear if possible. Don't shave, contact dermatitis can take 1 to 4 weeks to heal... In doubt, see a doctor.

    looks like shaving irritation. put a slightly cool/wet compress (towel) on it for relief, and don't shave for a few weeks, let your hair grow out and your skin recover.
