What Causes Dry And Flaky Skin Around Vagina?

Two nights ago after going to the bathroom I noticed red, and what looked to be dry flaky skin around my vagina and to my butt, now the peeling has gone away but it's tender and red. All I can say is that a couple things may have triggered it, I had been masturbating with a vibrator in that area, and after that I noticed what's going on down there. Also the previous day I had my period, and the pad had been irritating the area as well. I'm pretty worried about what this could be though, it's uncomfortable.

This condition can be due to local vaginal infection and for that you may require topical antibiotics.
