can anyone advise me on these sore/red welts please?

[lizandlulu]

i am 14 weeks pregnant but i dont think that has any relation to what i have. it is very embarassing and so dont really want to go to the doctors but will if no one on here can help.

i have 2 very large sore red welts in between my legs, not on my actual vagina, but more in the crease where my pants sit. i have had very small ones before but never as big as this, they must be about the size of 2 50p's if you see what i mean, are raised, weep and are very very sore.

if i leave them, usually the smaller ones form a sort of skin and the skin just goes back to normal.

i odnt know what if anything to put on them and i am getting desperate as it is painful to walk.

any help is greatly received as i really dont want to have to go to the doctors and show them between my legs, it doesnt look pretty

sudocrem? I get chaffing sometimes and thats what I tend to put on it

TBH your doctor (or another doctor/MW) will have too see between your legs many times over the next 6 months so I wouldn't worry too much!

Try baby talc/sudocrem but if it doesn't work swallow your fears and go and see someone! The brief embarrassment will be worth the relief of getting it sorted!!

i didnt think of sudocreme, i might try some tonight. the main thing putting me off the doctors is that our doctors works on a system where if you ring today you can only get an appointment 1 week from today, unless its an emergency, so more often than not my problem has gone and i feel like a waste of their time. apart from the embarassment obviousley!
