What Causes Red Sore On Areola During Pregnancy?

I am 25 weeks pregnant and found a small red sore on my left aerola and the skin was kinda peeling off and a small tiny opening is in the middle but no drainage. I put some antibiotic cream on it and in a deal the hole was gone and looks better but still a red spot. I noticed another one today on my right side with the same characteristics. It kinda burns as well. They are not lump like at all just more of a sore on the skin. Any help would be appreciated.

Hallow Dear,

Your description of the lesions makes me think that you are having mites or insects affection.

1. Application of Permethrin cream locally will get rid of the mites or insects.
2. Please dry your inner, in fact all your clothes in strong sunlight to kill the mites in the clothes.
3. Spray insecticides in the bedroom.
4. Clip the nails short and avoid scratching.

This should give you relief from the lesions.
