Hi,

Well in that case its likely to be scabies since it may nothappen in private parts, but is usually associated with people who live in close contact.

You may visit your dermatologist to get a treatment. Remind him that you are pregnant to ensure that he does not give such drugs which are normally prescribed but are not approved for use in pregnancy. Scabies would also require some other precautions such as washing all the clothes and linen.

Keep us posted.

All the best

Hi,

There are two main differentials that come forward here. Pregnancy related allergy reaction are known and seen anytime in pregnancy. They present with lesions anywhere in the body and are relieved with end of pregnancy and anti-allergics.

Scabies presents with itchy papular (bumps) lesions on the inner parts of the body such as underarms, between fingers and private body parts. It spreads through close contact with someone already infected with Scabies  

The lesions you describe could be either of these and only an examination would be able to sort out clearly if this is any of these.
Your doctor/dermatologist would be able to provide you help here.

Hope this helped. Let us know if there are any other queries and keep us posted on your health.

Best regards
