Anyone who has this condition should consult with a doctor immediately. I have had this 'hidden disease' for over 25 years and am now paying the price for not seeking medical advice years ago. It is called Hidradenitis suppurativa and it is known to cause a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, which I developed in my groin a year ago. Do your research. The tumor was about 3 inches long in my left groin area and it is very aggressive. I underwent chemo and radiation for the cancer last year and so far the tumor is gone but now have the cancer showing up in one of my lymph nodes which I have recently had another bout of radiation for. I have been told if the tumor comes back there is nothing that can be done for me except to give me palliative care (comfort). I have had no recurrence of the HS during the past year, but I figure that is because of the radiation I went thru. However, the HS bumps are coming back now. It takes 10 plus years for the cancer to develop but in my case it was longer. I started getting them in my 30's; I am now 72. Don't mess with this....please see a doctor. Your life could depend on it.

Good day, I've been having bumps or boils between my legs and yes its embarrassing. I did go to the doctor because i thought it was a STD but wasnt. The doctor said it due to shaving but theyre constantly there. Is there something over the counter because apparently the doctors give a cream that do nothing

I get these too (19 female) and after researching for years it sounds like hidradenitis supperativa. Which I hope I'm wrong since there is no cure :/ but it's triggered by hormones and excess weight among other things so yeah.

can't believe you can put something like that! Way to go to freak someone out! It's not herpes, it is as others have described which can be cleared up, unlike herpes!

I've been getting boils on my inner thighs for about fifteen years.  Although this may sound a bit odd, the best thing to do is take a thick piece of onion and put it over the boil.  I usually use athletic tape to keep it in place and try to not do anything active.  The longer you keep it on the more it helps (no more than 3 hours).  For some reason it immediately soothes that burning, throbbing sensation and helps get the infection out more quickly.  It's amazing!

i have been getting the exact same thing since I was a preteen im 17 years old right now and im a pretty active dancer and practically live on the beach. Mine are really bad right now and I think all the sweating and tight bathingsuits have made them worse
if you have this same condition stay away from tight underwear me personally I don't wear any at all anymore which made it more comfortable but if one is open get it checked out, I got mine checked and given medicine for staff, it wasn't but the cream they gave me was amazing and took them away. I talked to my mom also and she told me they are hereditary my dad used to get them too

Chris, I've been sick with hidradenitis suppurativa for over 20yrs (44yrs old now). Had over a dozen surgeries, procedures, and MANY open wounds. One thing you don't want to do is put straight peroxide on your wounds, use 50/50 purified water & peroxide. Pure peroxide eats the bad bacteria(that's good), but it also eats away the good bacteria (that's bad) - losing the good bacteria can cause delay of healing and/or infection. As per my doctors... check into it.

Meat Fat??? Wow, haven't heard that one... Desperate times, call for desperate measures, BEEN THERE (too many X's to count)!!! My doctor recommended sitz baths alternated with 20 min. increments of "Ice Pack." Seems like I always end up under the knife and then have problems healing after surgery. Inevitable, infection and antibioctics after every surgery. Now I have serious nerve damage from all of the surgeries, leaving me with chronic pain and HS clusters and breakouts several times a year. I was just diagnosed (Apr. 2014 @ 44 yrs). For 13 yrs my doc just cut them away (no diagnoasis), found a new doc& she told me in 3 minutes, what he couldn't figure out over 13 yrs... We have spent over $850,000!!!!! Even though the 1st doctor wasn't actively seeking a diagnoisi, I NEVER STOPPED!

I have the same problem, i didnt see a doctor about it, its really frustrating and they hurt, i read somewhere that they might be due to tge lact of iron in your body, anemia, hygene, or sometimes even because of a local bacterial infections, in trying the iron courses today hopefully they'll help, if you have any other solution please help!

This sounds exactly like hidradenitis suppurativa. It's kind of like acne, but it happens around the pubic area, buttocks, & thighs. I get very bad pimples and boils on my buttocks. They get very swollen, almost like cystic acne and they tend to be very painful. Go to the dermatologist, & they can prescribe you an antibiotic lotion and antibiotic pill. It will help a lot. Hot baths help as well, and also an anti inflammatory diet. Try not to mess with them. I've also found that a bentonite clay mask will help, as it dries out the area. You can also wash the area (as long as it isn't your vagina/vulva!) with antibacterial hand soap. This disease is extremely underdiagnosed because people refuse to talk to their doctors about it. It's very importal to get diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible because the disease can worsen or the spots can become infected.

Pimples, boils, blackheads & whiteheads between inner th Avatar tigerangel wrote 10 minutes ago To all of you reading or who have commented on this post. I had the exact same problem as you for decades. Under my arms, in the groin area, even under my breasts. It started on my inner thighs and over the years got worse. I was reading up on HS when I came across one ladies' blog. She found that she was highly allergic to nightshades, among which are potatoes, tomatoes and plant peppers of all kinds. Once she got those out of her diet, her condition slowly subsided. I tried it and lo snd behold it worked for me too! I know it sounds weird but I kid you not, it worked for me. The only time i get a boil is if I eat something that has one of the nightshades hidden in it. Hope this bit of info helps. It it worth a try at least. Wish you all the best. My condition was worse case scenario (between 5-15 swollen boils at a time even on my butt and hipbone areas). Totally embembarrassing. Only thing I have now is the old scars which are slowly fading but may never disappear ccompletely.

My suggestion ... Turmeric Curcumin Supplement 450 mg daily - the brand that I use - Nature's Bounty!  I suffered for years with hidradenitis suppurativa and this is the only thing that has completely taken away all lumps and bumps!!  I started on 900 mg per day (450 mg every 12 hours) until all lesions were completely healed and then cut back to 450 mg once daily.  Trust me folks, it works.  For immediate relief of those sore, inflamed boils, create a turmeric paste (google for recipe) and apply to the lesion and cover it with dressing until it drains.
