This is a medical condition called "hydradanitis supirotiva". Ask your doctor to a referral to a dermatologist and advise him that you think you have this condition. Unfortunately it's incurable but there are medications out there to assist.

I have been having this problem for years and I found a solution that works. Tea tree oil. I order it from ebay and it dries them out completely. I had boils under my arms and my inner thighs. I have been working out, so my thighs are getting. I believe that helps too. To get rid of the discoloration, I exfoliate once a week with body sugar. Every night and morning I apply Ambi fade cream and then follow it with extra virgin olive oil. I hope this helps

Hi everyone. I am a mother who has been dealing with this since my daughter was 8, she's now 10. I just wanted to put it out there, and it might help you too, that I have her use Neosporin... Which really seems to help with keeping the outbreaks tamed and it actually took some of the purplish scarring away also. Her aunt gets them too, so I'm curious as to if there's just a sensitivity in the family. Anytime she's sitting down for long periods of time she gets them where her pants bunch up or crease. Hope this helps some of you :)

Hi guys,
Its friction caused from the irritation of your thighs rubbing together. We all have tiny thin hairs that can cause ingrown hairs hence the boils. I have them, just popped a blackhead a hour ago because its been bothering me for more than a year. Best thing to do is jeep that area dry from sweat, use a clean moisturizer scent free so your body isnt absorbing something to make it worse. I was self conscious until a dr. Told me it what it was and I have thick thighs. My husband gets them too so they also happen in men.

Hey, Dara is absolutely right! It is a very common skin disease called hidradentis supparativa, but it is also very rare to most people and doctors & dermatologists as well. It starts when you hit puberty, gets worse as you're in your twenties and so on. There's actually stages to it. This disease also leads to depression. Because of insecurities and sex lives and other things as well. I'm 25 and my hs has gotten much worse! I only have one sec partner, which is an a**hole, but I chose not to sleep with anyone else BASED on the hs as well. I think it's disgusting so imagine what a man would think. Also it runs in European, African, & middle eastern ethnicity as well. Oh and another thing as well a recent study proves that hs is a genetic skin disease (THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CURE) but another problem is that it is rarely spoken about because a lot of people are embarrassed to ask a doctor or even go look for help. I've been to PLENTY of drs, walk ins, & dermatologists and only TWO with common sense & knowledge have also confirmed it's hs ( I've done years of research on cysts blackheads & ingrowns, & also found out it was hs at first ) my daughter is a toddler now but I'm noticing different colored dots on the inner thighs and I'm worried sh*tless because I don't want her to be so depressed like me and have no love life all because of some genetic disease.....now everytime I mention it to my parents ( seperated ) my dad claims he has never heard of it and my mom just ignores it and brushes it off. There's many times I send her links about hs and I get no response....and that just has me thinking what if it runs in my moms family.....but then again that's why people don't know it's genetic because who's really going to ask their relatives if they have ever had cysts pimples blackheads & scarring down there, it's just plain embarrassing that's why it's rarely spoken of....all I know is if it continues to get worse my life is basically over....

Hello, I'm 19 yes old and as all of you have the same issue, my inner thigh, butt, around my bra line, and underarms. It's truly hard to feel cute in anything you where because you have to watch your every move. Having sex was extremely embarrassing because you don't know how to tell your partner. I've tried everything in the book and watever you do, it's a skin disease that doesn't go away. With sex I can tell you, I've never had any complaints, even with the lights on!! So don't let it dictate your life, have sex with no shame, where nice clothes and always respect your self and demand that these men respect you for who you are. I've always told myself I have this problem because no body can be perfect, if you got beauty brains and a good heart, you got to have something wrong

I am 25 and have had this problem for quite sometime as well. I have never been overweight or black so I don't think that has anything to do with it. I wash with as hot as I can handle water hoping it might help. I've tried acne creams, alcohol, hot compresses and still no relief. Antibiotics did help with the boils but nothing for the hard bumps, black heads, or dark skin. I have never worn a bikini because of this and I'm only intimate with my husband in the dark. This is way too common to not have a solution.

For those of you who have the embarrassing issues with blackheads at the vagina area as well as the anus. I have found a awesome solution for this gross problem. I bought a olay cleansing brush along with clean and clear blackhead exfoliating scrub. Amazing results even after 1 scrub. This problem definitely limits any sexual activity and now I feel there is light at the end of the tunnel. If you have this problem, you should try this! You won't be sorry.

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.

I am now in my early 40 and have had these issues since early 20 and have found that Epson salt baths three times a week with a few drops of lavender oil keeps them from popping up as frequently as they used to. Also u may find as I did the wearing of certain types of panties, thongs ect caused the initial formation. My Dr stated that first off the heat between the inner thighs, synthetic material rubbing and the dye in the material is the main cause. Since I now go commando and do the baths three times a week I only see them form if I wear dark colored denim... Hope this helps
