I haven't seen any other posts with any women who have this horrible thing while pregnant. I've never had ringworm in my life. I'm getting my gp to confirm tomorrow but from what I've read and comparing my spots/lesions with the pics, I'm pretty 99% sure especially as it has spread as it is known to. The most horrific part for me is that the location of this "ringworm" is in my pubic region. It started with a loonie size spot and no others. It never itched much but I did notice it and by the time I did, and did some research it had spread into several littler bumps all over my pubis and part of the thighs. I tried oil of oregano which burned like the dickens. Plus I heard pregnant women aren't suppose to use that oil. I've been using tea tree for now but my midwife suggested Gentian Violet which I'll start tomorrow after I see the GP. I just want him to verify it. I'm sure he'll just prescribe chemical meds and I'm more into the home remedies and herbal stuff. I guess my worry is that from what I read it is hard to get control of and hard to get rid of. I'm half way through my pregnancy and I'm just beside myself if this is still around come birth time. I'm sure it can be passed on through v.birth. Perhaps I"ll just have to vouche for a Csection. In the meantime, it would nice to share with other women who have it "there" in the location I do and those that are pregnant as well or anybody who has some recommendations/suggestions. (btw there is a alot of good info on this site so far thank goodness)

MoreThis is a reply to # 915,903Thanks for the recommendation. I plan on it already. I have to wait to see the doctor tomorrow so I can't really put it on yet but feeling pretty desperate to do so as it is spreading like wild fire. I put the tea tree oil on again and its soothing. It doesn't help right now that our weather is at its hottest time of the year. I hear ultravoilet rays help too but hard to expose myself my yard even though we have half an acre. What will the neighbours think!

This is a reply to # 915,784It also sounds like it might be a skin yeast infection. I had one that started in that area and spread very quickly. It doesn't matter if it is a fungus or a yeast, though, because the treatments are the same. The tea tree oil, grapefruit seed extract, and gentian violet are all excellent ideas. I can see your point about oil of oregano being very strong, but it is also very effective (although, as you say, you may be reluctant to use this if you are pregant.)
Best of luck to you!- Re: Pregnant with ringworm dabbler

This is a reply to # 916,759Thank you Mackenzie for your comments.
I did go to my gp who just took a few quick looks and said, its not ringworm and ringworm doesn't spread that quickly. Just said its fungus..easy for growth as my pregger belly is hanging over that area and so keeps it moist there...and suspectible to such things like this. Gosh, I just can't believe it. He did give me a prescription but I presume because thats where they make their money. I tucked it away and tried the Gentian Violet. Thank goodness I still had some in the cupboard. I used some when my daughter was born. We had a little yeasty thrush thing going on with the breastfeeding. Either her mouth had it or my nipples. anyways the Gentian Violet worked great. Now I've been using it "down there" since Tuesday...its been 3 1/2 days now. I started getting relief and the spreading stopped within 24 hours of using it. However, I am keeping it up by putting some on in the morning and at night time. (I tell you ..its so messy and so time consuming to paint this crap on) Nonetheless, I'm quite desperate for this thing to go away. Its not pretty. I bought another supply tonight but I find the stuff hard to get. The pharmacy I went to only had one and asked me why I needed it...well, ...of course I didn't get specific...but geez...don't they know? With a line of up people around I wanted to blurt out that I need this for me "you know what" but using other words of course. My 3 year old daughter was with me so I declined on making a scene.
I guess now I'm curious to know how long it will take to dissapear when to stop applying this stuff. My summer is being ruined now. I got a nice new pregnancy bathing suit to wear but I can't because the G.V has now smeared all over my thighs...Boy I just can't believe this is happening...........If you could share more details on your experience would be great.
Thanks so much

This is a reply to # 919,188Hi Dabbler!
I had a horrible skin yeast infection in that area that began in November 2006, and lasted until I could finally get rid of it in April 2007. It's true that it's hard to get rid of, but it's doable. I have to say upfront, though, that my infection was so serious and the strain of yeast that I had was so aggressive that I had to go on Difulcan and Nystatin at first to help bring it under control. Nystatin is supposed to be safe for pregnancies, but I wouldn't use Difulcan at all during a pregnancy. And I certainly understand your desire not to use any chemical remedies as long as natural remedies will work.
For natural remedies, I alternated applying oil of oregano, grapefruit seed extract, and tea tree oil in treating the break-outs. But sometimes the break-outs would be so bad or spread so fast that I would have to use Clotrimizole on them, although I tried to go natural as much as possible. I did not use the gentian violet, however, even though I know it is highly recommended, mainly because of dealing with the stains it causes. But if it works, it works! That's what's important!
I hope everything is going well for you this week!

This is a reply to # 919,247Thanks for sharing MacKenzie. This site is great support of information and some kind of consolation that others are obviously experiencing the same thing to some degree. Its just horrific is all I can say. Unfortunately having something makes you feel less "clean" if you know what I mean. Of course it has nothing to do with that. I'm considering now looking at my diet as well for the time being which gets tricky with the pregnancy as well as I don't want to limit foods. Ah joy!
Thanks again and I will continue to post my progress for others as well ........any help is appreciated!

This is a reply to # 919,188Gentain Violet as I understand is supposed to kill any fungus ect in 30 day maximum. I found ten days for ringworm looking stuff to work most of the time. I live in the Fl. so I've had a lot of experience strange skin conditions and gentain violet. I hate going around with purple spot, but it beats having whatever your putting it on. Anyway once the skin is no longer infected it washes away in a few days. Works better for me than the big pharma fungucides. Good luck!

This is a reply to # 919,257Thanks Bythc. I will continue to use as long as possible. Its just hard to know if the suckers are done? Now that its deep dark purple in the area, I can only see so much. Tough area with a huge pregnant belly in front. Yeah doing gymnastics just to see the area and apply the GV. Somne spots looked like they are "killed"..as no more itching but there are some still raised and new possibily. Thats the hard part is seeing that I get everything so there is no more spreading. It appears that some people just a get a spot or so but I did start with only one big spot which seemed to do nothing and was hardly itchy. Then after a week of just seeing what was next, it spread like wild fire. I can't believe it. Well I'll just have to be patient and see whats next. (at this point, I will go pharmaceutical or natural products....my aim is to kill it as soon as possible)

This is a reply to # 915,784What is this Gentain Violet and where can I find it? I'm 6 months along and my husband has what we are assuming is ring worm. He now has 2 lesions and I'm very concerned I'm going to get it. I've been doing research everywhere and this is the first time I've ever heard of this GV. Any help would be very appreciated!!
