Not really parenting, more pregnancy/post-partum/dermatology question (with pic- maybe TMI). . .
During the last month of my pregnancy, I developed what I thought was a break out on the side of my chin. It did not go away so I attributed it to pregnancy and didn't htink much of it. Now that I am almost 4 weeks post partum and still have this patch, I am wondering if it is in fact acne or another skin condition. I will be making an appt. with a dermatologist, but being impatient, I was wondering if this was identfiable to anyone as something other than acne- like eczema or rosacea. I think it is so gross, but I included a picture- it is a pink patch of little pink pimples. Some get little tiny heads of puss. It dries out, but never goes away and the cycle keeps starting over. Sorry if TMI- TIA Image Attachment(s):

it looks like it might be ringworm. your body is more susceptible to fungi in pregnancy... i actually got one on my leg myself. definitely see a derm - they can treat it with antifungal cream if it does end up being ringworm.
