I keep getting these painful boils on my thighs since i got pregnant, never had them before. Thoda worried if they can harm the baby in any way. Is this just a hormone thing or should i show my doc?
I completely understand why you are worried, every little skin change made me panic too. Just to be at peace, please show it to your doctor. It's better to get a safe ointment prescribed than worrying.
My saas always says boils happen due to body heat, so drink lots of water and buttermilk. But honestly, if they are pus-filled or you get a fever, tell your gynac immediately.
Babe, don't stress too much! Most boils are just due to hormonal changes and heat. Just keep the area clean, don't squeeze them, and mention it to your doc on your next visit.
I had to be extra careful with skin issues due to my thyroid. Please don't ignore them if they are big or painful. Regular checkups with your doctor will keep both you and baby safe.
Normally small heat boils are common, but we shouldn't take any risk now. My mother suggests putting a little safe coconut oil, but please ask your doctor if they are painful or spreading.
