What To Do For Rash On Inner Thighs, Vulva During Third Month Of Pregnancy When Bacitracin Does Not Help?

I am 3 months pregnant and have developed a rash on my inner thighs and vulva which has over time become discolored (grey color) and it is always moist no matter what I do. There are no bad or unusual smells, no thick discharge, just a lot of skin moisture. It doesn't itch very much, just mostly feels irritated. I showed it to my doctor who told me to apply bacitracin and keep dry but it hasn't really gotten any better. Upon doing my own research, it seems to fit along the lines of female jock itch but Im unsure. I keep myself clean, wash with Cetaphil soap only, I began wearing cotton panties during the day and none to sleep in. I don't use powders anymore because I don't want to add to the muck buildup, but have used zinc and tea tree oil in addition to the bacitracin to no avail. Should I see another doctor or maybe buy some OTC antifungal?

Hi,     
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. It could be a vulval LESION which needs to be ruled out. If there is any discharge you might even need a smear for microscopic examination.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
