Chafing on inner thighs?

chocolatechip06

Hi there,

 TMI question.

I had what I thought was chafing from my underwear on the weekend, so I switched to maternity underwear from Motherhood, and it seemed to get better.

 However today I noticed that I have little red bumps on my inner thigh, and they're a little bit painful depending on position (I'm on bedrest, lying on either side),  

Does this sound like something I need to be concerned with?  I'm going to call my OB tomorrow, but don't think it necessitates a call to him right now.

TIA

I had to deal with this last week! I think for me it was caused by wearing unlined pants with rough seams and then walking around in the cold.

The ladies on TTTC recommended the Monistat Soothing Care Chafe Relief Powder-Gel. I tried it on my red bumps and it totally helped! It was cool and soothing and created a nice barrier away from my itchy pants.

Hope you feel better soon!

I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about or not but when I wear pantyliners overnight I feel like my panty line has a bit of a rash. So I just don't wear them overnight and it helps (and since I'm lying down I don't really need them overnight)  If you are wearing them and are on bedrest  maybe that is the issue for you too?

I had that in the summertime when I was nine months pregnant with Reed and my legs were rubbing together underneath my skirts.  I used baby powder.  It worked.
