Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
First , you should avoid antibiotics as much as possibl because of risk for aby in this period of pregnancy.. Second you should treat it with soaking in salty warm water and apply steroid cream. If there is no improvement, it can be partially or totaly removed under local anasthesia.
