Can you get a diaper rash from using a menstrual pad?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sure: Blood from your menstrual cycle will attract bacteria which will irritate your skin if not changed frequently. When in doubt get it checked out.

Yes: Have especially seen it when the plastic type under coating abuts against the skin.
