Spot On Side Of Rib Itching And Changing Color During Pregnancy. Feeling Sick, Weak And Have Sore Joints

I have a spot on the side of my rib, it looks like a burn, and it itches sometimes. It started out looking like a circle welt but it has changed color now. Its kind of a brownish color. It doesnt hurt. And ive recently been feeling sick, weaker and have had sore joints. Im also 23w pregnant if that would have to do with anything..

OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

The "spot" that you are describing is something called "tinea corporis". It is a yeast infection on the skin that is treated with a yeast cream or powder. With regard to feeling sick, weak and joint pain, this should be addressed with your OB/GYN. Perhaps it represents the flu, or perhaps it is related to your pregnancy - I have no way of knowing with limited information in this regard.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
