Rash on and near vulva

Embarrassing. I have developed a rash on and around my vulva. It is blotchy. Doesn’t hurt or itch. It extends a little bit onto my inner thighs, and up a bit so you can see it underneath my pubic hair.

It has appeared over the last week. I haven’t changed any cleaning habits, or done anything unusual apart from (also embarrassing) use a new vibrator a couple of times. But I cleaned it thoroughly before use and it didn’t touch my thighs. I was thinking that I could have suffered a reaction to the material. That’s my only change in behaviour, clothing or environment that I can think of. I guess it’s been summer so warm but not excessively hot to cause a heat rash, and I don’t normally get these. Haven’t done anything unusual with bed sheets either.

No symptoms anywhere else.

If it persists I might (also embarrassing) go to the GP, but in the meantime, any ideas?

Do you think? It’s pain free and itch free. No other symptoms. I wondered if I might wait to see if it goes away.
