I have these pinkish/reddish blotches on both of my inner thighs, and they've been there quite sometime. I am pregnant and I consulted my doctor about them and she said that it might be from yeast infection. I have no other diseases, Ive been checked for everything and I was wondering what and how can I get rid of these blotches, they dont itch, they dont burn, they are not bumpy...I just want to know what it is and how I can get rid of it, its driving me crazy!!!!
Hello, Thank you for posting to HCM. This is Dr. Papaqako answering your question.
I'm sorry for your problem. Yeast infections during pregnancy are more common than any other time in a woman’s life, especially during the second trimester of pregnancy. The inner thighs is a place where there is warm, moist and airless area of skin, that is a condition that help the fungi grow.
Apply the cream to the surrounding 4-6 cm of normal skin in addition to the rash. Apply for as long as advised. This varies between the different creams, so read the instructions carefully, usually 1 week after the skin lession has been cleared.
Keep the area as much clean and dry as possible, as this will prevent the problem to be repeated.
Hope this helps, Take care.
