It could possibly be thrush.. you may need to visit your doctor, especially if breastfeeding. The same thing just happened to me. To the best of my knowledge thrush is a bacterial infection. You may need antibiotics. It can also grow in babies mouth as well. It should be an easy fix! Hope this help!
@Jayla I didn’t even think about that! I would have these awful hot flashes and itching during a part of m my pregnancy but it was never constant.
Ugh. I experienced this and it was awful. I used an unscented lotion and added a few drops of peppermint oil. The relief was temporary but typically lasted long enough to make me comfortable to fall asleep. For what ever reason it was always the worst in the evening and bedtime. I did stop using it around 30 ish weeks because I no longer needed it. And I know peppermint can affect milk supply.
