What Causes Circle Shaped Irritation In Antecubital Space Of Arm During Pregnancy?

30 yrs old, 5"3, 145 lbs. I am currently 6 month pregnant and since my pregnancy i have been getting a wierd circle (baseball size) shapped irritation in the antecubital space of both arms. It usually goes away on its own, but since it's been frequent I'm wondering if this is anything i need to worry about?
