Does anyone have pimples or a rash on your butt, the part that you actually sit on? For the past week or so, it's been getting worse to the point where it hurts to sit. I've never had this before, is it because of hte pregnancy or hormones? How do I get rid of them? They're like a red, raised nasty rash..So embarrassing. Too embarrassed to show dr...but I will if it isn't gone away by the next app, next week..thanks for any help i advance.

I kinda had this problem and I chalked it up to my clothes not fitting the same. A bit tighter and rubbing. Seems to have gone away but it wasn't a real rash like you are discribing just a few pimples. I did go and buy comfy-er undies though, and started to do the rubber band trick so my jeans weren't so tight...if it continues I'd at least ask the dr, that's what their there for! Besides, they're going to be seeing a lot more of you later!! Good luck!

What's the rubber band trick? Never heard of it!

Attach a rubber band to the zipper of your jeans and then loop it around the button. That way, you can have your pants open and they will still stay up! You shouldn't be too embarrassed to show your doctor. You wouldn't believe some of the things they have seen...believe me, they have seen it all. I would go to the doctor because they can probably prescribe a safe cream that would take the rash away quickly. Think about your comfort!

If your jeans are rubbing it may be "foliculitis". I had it before I got pregnant but since I have been pregnant it has gone away. I think it might be because I have stopped wearing thongs since I found out (comfort thing). But definately have them check it because it could be something you should be taking something for.....
