<human>: I have a rash on both upper butt cheeks. They are small red bumps, but the whole area is a large circle. I also have similar red bumps on the lOwer side of my thighs. I am pregnant. I am not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it wont go away.
<bot>: Hello. Thanks for writing to us at Chat Doctor Judging from the description, this seems to me like a Fungal Infection/ Tina Courts; Annular or circular patches with central clearing and peripheral raised margins which may be broken at places or composed of bumps. I suppose it must be itchy too. The location too seems to suggest that it is most likely a fungal infection; fungal infections are common at sites such as waist and pubic region. Fungal infection is not specifically common in pregnancy, but weight gain during pregnancy may be a contributory factor. I would suggest that you may use an OTC topical antifungal clotrimazole 1% cream, twice daily for 4-6 weeks, regularly. Oral antifungals may be avoided during pregnancy. An oral antihistamine e.g. HY Chat Doctor. Regards
