A few weeks ago I noticed a pimple looking bump on the inside of my left thigh, it was painless and I was sure it would go away. I still have the bump but now it is darker in colour and two painful bumps have appeared on the inside of my right thigh. There is one smaller one and one that changes in size but is usually large. It has gotten to the size of a quarter. When in water, blood oozes out of the bigger bump and then later the bump becomes small again. No I'm not overweight so there is no suggestion that it is because of sweat or whatever.
Does anyone else have these, or does anyone know what they are?

I don't know an EXACT answer, but I can assure you, it is NOT herpes or such... lol. I had never had this kind of problem until I was sexually active with my husband... It is something that has plagued him (and runs in his family) for years. Since I have been away from him, I do not get them like I did, and sweat really does make them worse. It is a type of staph infection... The best thing to do (if you don't want to go to a doctor) is suck it up & pop it as best you can... you will have to get everything out you can. If you can get a hard (seed) of the pimple out then it should actually heal that spot & not reappear, but if you drain it and it just goes down but stays dark & such, then it will return. I know that they can be super painful, but until you can get the hard seed-like bit of stuff out, it will always come back. That is how staph works... So, be prepared that when you do drain one, it will leave a scary hole in your leg, so use antibiotic & bandages until it heals up!

I have them & trust me, they are no Joke! If you pop them like a pimple it'll only scar, so this how to get them not to scar... Soak yourself in hot water, it'll soften the skin, then get a glass salt/pepper shaker, take the top off and boil the glass, leave it boiling for a minute or so, take tongs to get it out & hold a clothe at the end, place the opening of the shaker around the area, it won't hurt as long as you apply pressure! The heat will create a suction and suck all the blood and infection out of the area, leave it on there for about 10 minutes then take the shaker off & the blood & goo will be in the shaker! Itll heal fine and leave no scars!
