I have a rash on both upper butt cheeks. They are small red bumps, but the whole area is a large circle. I also have similar red bumps on the lOwer side of my thighs. I am pregnant. I am not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it wont go away.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor Judging from the description, this seems to me like a Fungal Infection/ Tina Courts; Annular or circular patches with central clearing and peripheral raised margins which may be broken at places or composed of bumps. I suppose it must be itchy too. The location too seems to suggest that it is most likely a fungal infection; fungal infections are common at sites such as waist and pubic region. Fungal infection is not specifically common in pregnancy, but weight gain during pregnancy may be a contributory factor. I would suggest that you may use an OTC topical antifungal clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily for 4-6 weeks, regularly. Oral antifungals may be avoided during pregnancy. An oral antihistamine e.g. HY Chat Doctor. Regards
