Changing your pad regularly is an essential thing. Using the same pad for a long period of time and continuously is not healthy. Do not wait till you reach home for changing the pad, if you are a working lady or a student. Infections can be caused if you are using the pad for a longer time period. So, to avoid rashes and infection, change your pad regularly.

C) Maintain Hygiene

To keep the area dry, just apply some powder. You can use it before wearing the pad and after washing the vaginal area. Use antiseptic powder, instead of using your regular talcum powder and apply around the vaginal region and inner thighs. 

The tight clothes, synthetic fabric and bubble bath should be avoided. Try using a different brand of the pad or a tampon/menstrual cup. During your period, you can also use organic cotton pads.

Try these tips and consult your doctor again to evaluate the healing process.
