I have strep b as well, and havne't had any problems with rashes.  I would also recommend calling your dr.

Group B streptococcus, or GBS, also known as group B strep, is one of many different bacteria that normally live in our bodies. Approximately one third of us "carry" GBS in our intestines without knowing.

About a quarter of women also have it in their vagina (RCOG 2003:1). Most don't know it's there, as it doesn't usually cause problems or symptoms.

However, in rare cases GBS can cause serious illness and even death in newborn babies. Although these cases are unusual, GBS is the most common cause of severe infection in newborns, particularly in the first week after birth (known as an early onset infection) (RCOG 2003:1). In the UK, about 340 babies a year develop a GBS infection

But although some people can carry Strep B in there below area. I would still see your GP!

Hello I had Step B when I was pregnant on my second child.  I just antibiotics and antiobiotics when giving birth.  I had no visible signs.

I also have strep b and never had outward signs either, definately ask your doctor.

I have never heard of strep b causing any outword signs. Its more of a bacteria kind of thing. I have strep b and have had it for years and never once had that happen. I would contract your doctor.
