Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, it looks like that if napkin rash or underwear liner rash.

I advice you to avoid the sweating in that portion.

Wearing cotton undergarments can help you.

You can use neosporin powder over the rash.

Taking a cetrizine under your doctors guidance can help prevent itching and rash.

Please maintain good hygiene by frequent cleanliness over the affected part which can equally help prevent infection as taking antibiotics.

As you are pregnant it is adviced to avoid taking antibiotics.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
