Dear XXXXXXX,
The patch looks like a fixed drug eruption which can occur not only as a result of a drug ingestion but can also occur as a result of infection in the body. Such lesions during the periods can occur in females during menstrual cycles as a result of infection- PID (Pelvic Inflammatory disease).
During earlier days, females using tampoons were prone to get Pelvic Inflammatory disease resulting in such skin lesions.
A course of antibiotic under a doctors supervision will cure the condition. It is completely curable with early treatment. Do not worry.

i never had such type tampoons ...why it happen to me...
Dear XXXXXXX,
Thanks for your follow up query and sorry for the delay in replying.
Tampoons are a source of PID and are not the only reason for causing PID.
You must visit a gynaecologist to get an examination done. A hemogram can also tell us about the presence of infection if any.
Hope this answer your query. Should you have any more queries, I will be glad to assist you.
