Suggest Treatment For Severe Redness On The Shin During Pregnancy

I am 8 months pregnant and I have been having a very dry burning red inflammation on my chin since the past three months. the redness won t seem to go away. I have consulted a dermatologist and told me that my condition is because of my pregnancy. now even pimples start to pop up around the affected area. None of the ointment I have applied so far seem to heal my wound. Please help

Hi,
Even if these condition is due to pregnancy but as there is secondary bacterial infection you should go for treatment of these pimples.
You might require one course of antibiotic after consulting your Obst.
Clean local lesion with water and apply antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
