Red, painful lump on stretch mark on hip

Help!

I've had this red, painful lump appear on my stretch mark on my R hip. I first noticed it a few weeks ago, it was painless. Now it's tender to touch. Feels soft and squishy, not hard at all. Almost feels like a weird baggy bit of skin. I'm pregnant (nearly 30 weeks) so didn't know if anyone had experienced anything like this on their hip stretch marks?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey OP! It's common to get pregnancy acne and it can appear anywhere from face to hips. This acne occurs because of hormonal changes so usually it's nothing to worry about. These nodules may disappear on their own but if the pain persists, you can try some proven home remedies for acne such as applying turmeric or massaging with an essential oil. You can do some research online or talk to your doctor to see what works best for you. Cheers!
