Peeling skin on clitoris. Can yeast infection cause that?

I felt like I was beginning to have a yeast infection half way through my period as I had a familiar itching feeling. It has mostly went away as my period ended but when I was showering I noticed what looks like peeling skin on my clitoris. It doesn't hurt or feel uncomfortable. I've only had sex once in the past four months and used a condom so I don't think this is STD related.

I feel like there's a little bit more sebum/smegma than usual but otherwise I feel fine. I'm just really concerned why my skin is peeling in these little dots. It's difficult to get to the Dr. right now with covid. Does anyone what this is?!
