Does this sound like post partum pregnancy mask?

Asked by tan253 (2958points) May 23rd, 2012

I am just wondering if anyone has experienced this.
I have these weird red circular spots, I noticed them since the birth of my daughter – only issue is is that they are on a rather personal part of my body – my inner thigh, just at the crease…. of my you know what – I noticed them when I shaved for the first time (sorry tmi!) but I have no idea what they are.
I keep forgetting to ask the obgyn and now I don’t need to go there again for another year.

They could be pregnancy mask but I thought that was normally on your face.
They are weird almost like perfect circles and red and that’s it – they don’t itch, they don’t seem to affect me in anyway other than just being weird alien red spots.
Any ideas?

Sounds like tinea. Anti fungal creme will take care of it, so will Selsun Blue, actually. It could have been caused by an imbalance in your body’s flora due to the birth. Also by dampness. Go ahead and check, because it could be something else, I suppose. But that was the first thing I thought of.
