I've googled and looked through these forums and can't quite find something that matches my issue (if I missed it please point it out!).
I just got off my period about 2 days ago and the last day of it I started having a really bad itching sensation on my inner vulva. When I looked the small fold of skin above my vaginal opening was inflamed and red. Now it's leathery feeling, itchy, and hurts to touch.
I'm on the Patch birth control and have been for a few years (tossing that in there in case but I don't think it's a factor). I don't think it's a yeast infection because I've had one before and this is nothing like what the other one was like.
I was wearing pads while on my period so could I be having an allergic reaction to those (was using a store-brand instead of my normal brand)?

My vulva is dry and itchy; also there is this white film that crumbles like dry shredded skin. What is it?
