Strange swelling / pain in groin

Hi

Wonder if anyone can help as Dr Google has drawn a blank!

I'm 36 weeks pregnant so it's quite hard for me to see my own groin properly! Have been using a magnifying mirror!

About a week ago I noticed pain in the crease between my thigh and groin, it felt like I'd been wearing pants that were too tight and had dug in on the crease, which is what I thought it was!

But when I looked it was read and really lumpy and swollen, also quite moist and really gross smell (kind of cheesy 🤢 sorry) despite washing thoroughly daily.

Since then I've been talking care to dry thoroughly after shower and not wearing pants, just cotton leggings but it's not getting any better.

Is it pregnancy related? Or a fungal or bacterial infection? Or a swollen lymph node? Any help or remedies welcome! Would like to be rid of it before birth!

It doesn't itch or anything (just red and painful to touch)

TIA!

Fungal infection would be my guess. Pita and also highly contagious and spreadable to other parts of your body butter experience get I the pharmacist tomorrow not sure what the contra-indications on Antrim fungal during pregnancy.

Thank you! Will try an anti-fungal cream - seems the most likely!
