Menstruation or periods is one important phase for girls and women. But menstruation is usually irritating due to several reasons such as it occurs every month, odour, pad rashes, cramps and mood swings.
But out of all the reasons, pad rashes are usually irritating as they leave impact for a longer duration. They are red, sore and itchy patches which can be major reason for irritability. They are common in most of the cases. If they are severe than normal and are taking too long to cure, it is advisable to see a doctor.
A pad rash can be due to several reasons like the chemicals used for absorbing the odour or the scents, adhesive used to stick the pad, friction caused due to continuous movement etc. Every girl/woman needs best solutions to avoid these period rashes.
So here are the 3 best ways to avoid a pad rash.
1. Menstrual hygiene
Cleaning the vaginal area at least every four hours preferably with warm water which will keep bacteria at bay. Keep the area dry. Dust powder after tapping the place dry to avoid dampness before wearing a sanitary napkin, this can avoid irritation. And last but not the least, antiseptic powder should be preferred over talcum powder.
2. Choosing the right pad
Use unscented sanitary napkin. If suitable, one can try use biodegradable and natural substanced sanitary napkins as they do not cause long term health issues as they are made of non synthetic material. Apart from choosing the right pad it is essential to change it regularly. Avoid using same pad for a long duration of time as the absorbing capacity goes low after longer time duration.
3. Avoid daily hygiene products
Avoid using soaps, washes or sprays in your intimate area during menstruation as it can worsen rashes and can cause several infections. Also tight clothes can increase the friction of pad and your vaginal area and inner thighs, so loose cotton clothes can be more preferable. One can try using a topical cream prescribed by a doctor depending upon the type of rash.
