Boils blackheads pimples and whiteheads in my inner thighs

I have dealt with this condition for what feels like forever, and after going through antibacterial soaps and antibiotic pills and topical gels and even having the boils lacerated and drained, to no avail, I think I've found something that works. 1) use any sort of scrub for acne between your thighs (or any affected area). I recommend using an exfoliator or a washcloth/loofah. 2) apply Differen, a 0.1% adapalene gel when your thighs dry ON THEIR OWN. I believe this is available by prescription. 3) apply baby powder as needed. I usually do it about 3 times a day. It helps keep the area dry and eases chafing, both components of these hellish breakouts. Since I started doing this about a week ago, there have been no new boils. Preexisting boils have shrunk and are quickly disappearing. Even the scarring seems to be getting better. I also recommend, for those of you with bigger thighs, to really work them out so there's less rubbing, which seems to be the biggest problem. Remember to shower daily, and use clean undies. Hope this helps someone xoxo

This condition has nothing to do with your weight, I weigh 105 lbs   and have  for years and   have been dealing with this condition, its horrible  just like everyone here said,   boils,   , breakouts,  cant wear swim suits or shorts on hot days, its ruined my life for years now  and is painful too , I have no idea why  we get them, but its NOT weight,  I wanted to get this post out so that part is cleared up.  its is  something in the system that  makes  or allows it to happen, but is not   your weight. 

St. IVES APRICOT SCRUB DAILY DO NOT SKIP A DAY. IT WORKS when I run out the boils will come.

I have has them for many years. U have always been overweight but a few years ago I lost weight and the scars didn't disappear but the breakouts basicly did. The I gained all the weight I lost back and they are worse than ever. So I do believe weight has something to do with it. But I'm glad I'm not alone they are so embarrassing and painful. I've tryed antibiotic soaps, soaps from a doctor and steroids as well. I'm going to work on loosing weight again, and hopefully they will improve again. The sweat gland thing makes sence because I get them on my stomach around my pants line as well. My Dr said its a bacteria but what he prescribed didn't help so maybe he was wrong. Thanks for the tips.

am 22 years old and I have had HS sine I was nine. I am a female. I didn't not have any boyfriends in high school but afterwards I made sure to keep in contact with my best friend. he and I are now dating for 5 years. As for being self conscious about the spots. I suggest telling your family. Doing research on HS and talking to your doctor. Antibiotics don't help. As for telling your significant other make sure they are nice. My boyfriend had no problem. The antibacterial wash did help but then it stopped working. I'm still looking for treatment that might work for me. I wish you all the best of luck.

Just a hint...try Jockey's Skimmies. They are long-legged underwear for women specifically created to prevent chafing. They are a lifesaver!

I am a 14 year old girl and I have the same problem I have had them since I was 10 and I hate then I want them to go away.

I have had this for years, dermatologist put me on an antibiotic every day forc call Doryx, needless to say I quit the Doryx. I have them along my bikini line and arm pit, I though it was in grown hairs and shaving causing the irritation. what worked for me was switching my deodorant to arm and hammer all natural, no aluminum and loosing a few pounds. I haven't had one sinoce using arm and hammer and benign down 15 lbs. what I can't deal with now is the residual black head areas I have in hair follicles from old abscesses. I was referred to a surgeon and didnt go. I am thinkingofntryontons remove these myself, any body have any experience or advice for hitting those black heads/pit pout of the folice?

 

Hi, I Have Bumps and Scars Between My Legs & I Was Just Wondering What TCA Stands for & Where you got it.

I use Bactine. it's a antibacterial spray you can also use the neutrogena acne spray but its not as effective and baby powder to prevent them from rubbing. it helps a lot and its cheap as for scarring I have no clue

I am suffering with the same problem and i would like to know all the medication and creams you used. I am desperate.i am getting married soon and i am so insecure about this problem.

I use hemorrhoid cream on the big boils and it shrinks them

OMG!! I was dying thinking I was alone in this.........:'(......it's so embarrassing during intimacy.......I think it's because of it, that my relationships don't last.

I saw a doctor for the condition and I was told it's inherited. I then asked my Mom and sure enough she has the same condition and so did my Grandmother, God rest her soul. It's in the blood line.

There is nothing much that can be done for it. I always get a boil right before my cycle begins, it's kind of an alert mechanism but I would prefer the cramps over this at this point. When the boil goes a way an ugly, ugly scar is left....

There is puss that comes out of it when squeezed and also the black heads are huge, they feel like little rocks embedded into your skin and when squeezed out they are black and they smell horrible....I so wish it would just go away.

It hurts like hell and it's so embarrassing..:'(...it's good to know that I'm not the only one but I'm so sorry we all have to endure this type of embarrassment. Especially when being intimate with someone for the first time the look on their face, makes you wish a big hole could just open up underneath you and swallow you in.

If ever anyone finds a solution please post it because this condition is ruining my life.

I would love to be able to wear fashionable shorts and swimsuits but this conidition limits my clothing choice......:'(

I'm 20 I didn't have to tell my husband about them when we where in high school he looked at them and asked wat they where I told him he looked at me with so much love I didn't know what to say I was so touched
