I just got off my period a day ago. I use pads and they get super twisted and stick to my inner thighs. I have been having super heavy periods lately and my pads have been kinda overflowing before I can swap them out. so for the last week things have been super wet and my pads have been sticking and rubbing my inner thighs alot causing then to be red and irritated, it happens alot so i didnt think anything of it, i normally rub some diaper rash ointment on it and the next day its fine. tonight however i noticed bumps on the inside creases of my thighs and im panicked thinking it could be herpes. but ive read alot about pad rash ans sensitivities to pads causing this. please help!!

    A photo would help is identifying what the rash is. Or you could look up how herpes looks like and if it's similar if you're not comfortable with that.
