It looks like a skin tag and as it's in the inner thigh due to friction in that area it seems to be inflamed a little.
Best advice is to get it removed by RF ablation
It is a Simple and quick in clinic procedure done under local anesthesia.

It is a skin tag. But since you are pregnant, Dersol ointment should NOT be used. It may harm your baby. For further management, pls discuss in detail over consultation.
