What Causes Rashes Near To Vagina During Pregnancy?

I'm 38weeks pregnant and I noticed a little circle of rash that feels sore to the touch near my vagina on the side. I'm worried and confused. I'm very healthy and my husband says its probably hormonal changes or heat due to weight gain or not waxing as I used to but I don't know. Please help

Hello ma'am and welcome.

If at all the circular rash has a pimple(acne)-like presentation then this is most probably a swollen and possibly infected hair follicle, called folliculitis. Applying warm compresses several times a day to the affected region and taking warm showers should help relieve you of the presentation sooner.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
