hi, firstly dont worry, i think they are just spot's, my son had a similar thing and he was told they were nothing to worry about they are spots/systs (just like you get anywhere else)nothing to worry about, if they become sore or inflamed you will be able to get creams from the doctors but if they are not sore, keep the area clean and dry and just ignore them and they will go away :-)
Reply:These may be caused by a fungal infection. Which means you will need to get either some yeast infection medication or some athletes foot medication and rub it on the sores for a week or two.





Otherwise it could be caused by shaving that area. After you shave that area you get pimples there.





The pimples from shaving will go away on their own.
Reply:I believe that you may have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa. It is re-occurring boils/ cysts/abscesses that are often misdiagnosed as ingrown hairs, herpes, being unclean or over weight and folliculitis. This is a newly diagnosed skin condition , but there is a lot of info out there if you are looking.

If this sounds like it might be you, READ it, PRINT it out, and TAKE it to your DOC.


It’s better to try to start treatment soon, it can spread over the body if left untreated. These boils can become quite large and painful. Sometimes even lasting for weeks or months , do not attempt to POP them they can then tunnel under your skin and spread all over the body. Most common areas are armpits, groin, bikini line, inner legs, and intimate places and basically anywhere that sweats and rubs against clothing. Stress is a big inducer.

I am open for questions!


I have had this for 8 years, I was misdiagnosed for a LONG time, and it was very embarrassing, painful and scary. I am just trying to help out so you don’t have to wait as long as I did.





Currently I have 5, 2 next to each other on my right inner groin. 2 in my upper HAIR area, and 1 med sized on my butt on the panty line, and they do come every week or so. I find that certain foods, not having a regular showering regimen, wearing clothing that irritates the area.. And STRESS usually is a precursor to getting one.





and YES thongs and TIGHT jeans will definately irratate the area... when I have some I can only wear slacks or strechy pants.... ughhhhhhhhhhh!!





I also prefer to use NEXCARE bandages.. There are 2 kinds I like for comfort and stay put reasons..


The first is like a clear band aid.... soft on the edges with a small area of bandage... helps with those buggers when they are on bikini line.. Usually stay for me.. Or occasionally on my inner thigh for those I like the foamy sponge like ones that are beige in color.. I think they are 3M.
