Suggest Medication Without Steroids For Itching And Burning Of Underarms

I recently shaved my inner thighs and went swimming. It became itchy, a few days later it was red and burning slightly and still itchy. The day after that it began to smell. I am wondering what this is and if it can be treated topically without steroids as I am 4 months pregnant.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

Your presentation can be related to a possible infection, and so it would be more than wise to get physically examined as you are pregnant and shouldn't be taking chances.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
