Rash on chin

Hi, throughout pregnancy my skin hasn't been good at all and is often red and sore. Last night, I noticed that I had an angry red, dry rash covering my whole chin, which is still there this morning. I wondered if anyone else might have had anything similar happen and if there is anything you'd recommend. I've tried e45 cream but it hasn't helped at all.

I'm 34+5 weeks pregnant.

Thanks, Sarah

I had a red rashy chin in pregnancy. I tried a few creams but nothing made a big difference.for me it must just have been hormonal as it cleared up straight after birth.
I'd still ask your midwife about it though just in case

I've had something similar but under my arm. I used aqueous cream with calamine. Really helped.

Thank you for your replies. I will try that cream and see if it helps. If not, it will hopefully disappear after birth as i think it must be hormonal.
