pregnancy jock itch?

artroyer · October 2012

I've had a rash for the last couple of days that I think is like jock itch... not sure how to treat it! I've never had this before. I'll be calling the doctor tomorrow, but I could use some relief before work tomorrow.

My hubby has some tinactin spray, but I'm not sure if it's safe...

Any ideas?

I would take a bath, no soap. Then after towel drying let air dry for another few minutes and only wear light all cotton underwear for a few days. I would not use a panty liner or pad for a while, if you are for discharge. If you start feeling really wet or sweaty change mid day. Hope that helps.

I kinda think I was going through something similar. Everything felt kind of itchy and raw down there. I chalked it up to everything being so much more moist down there than I am used to - similar issues have happened when I was training for major races and events. Anyway, I treated it like diaper rash, used Burt's bees diaper cream overnight. Used panty liners during the day to keep the moisture at a minimum and changed underwear often. My issue has cleared up. That was a lot of personal sharing. Haha. Hope it helps!!!

I had something similar with DS. I recommend you get to the doctor ASAP. I suffered for weeks because I was too embarassed to go and the day he gave me a prescription, I felt relief. Good luck!

I get that too some times...I do as PPs have said - bath, air dry, cotton panties, but also a little baby powder to keep it dry....usually goes away by the next day...but if you have any discharge that is weird in color or scent, I would call ur Dr. could be a vaginal infection that can be treated with anitbiotics.
