Hi
Yes you are right. You seem to have developed a frictional dermatitis.
See since you are pregnant, it would be better than you avoid taking any extra medicines for the same.
First of all, you should avoid any such tight clothes in future prevent any further frictional damage to the area.
Wear loose cotton clothes as much as possible.
Apply calamine lotion over the affected area.
Keep the area clean and dry.
