Very itchy rash in groin area on one side

[Sandrine1982]

Hi. I'm 24 weeks pregnant and I've had this problem for a about month now. Initially I thought it was provoked by a shave so I stopped shaving.
The rash is in the folds of skin in the groin area where my leg meets my pubis. I've read about PUPP rash but this doesn't usually occur in the groin area? I also have very itchy skin just under my hairline in the back of my neck, and also in the folds on the back my legs. So weird! Sometimes it's extremely itchy. Has anyone had this? How did you treat it? I don't want to run to the GP with every little problem, but I must admit I am a bit worried ...

It might be a fungal infection. Normally I'd suggest talking to the pharmacist and getting some cream for it, but as you're pregnant a trip to the GP might be a better idea.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that, good idea, I'll try the Canesten cream on it ..
