Hello,
Dear it could be contact dermatitis.It is the type of hypersensitivity ,can occur due to using particular type of clothes,underwear or applying some particular type of chemicals or tampons.
I would suggest that first of all keep dry this area,and take good hygienic measures.You may change the type of cloth ,which you have been using through years and try to wear cotton wear.Wash your private parts with antiseptic water and you may apply antihistamine ointment on rashes.
You should also see a gynaecologist once to rule out any sexual transmitted disease.
Hopefully my answer will be helpfull.
Regards,
Dr.Maheshwari
