Hi there. I have recently been having pain in my upper thigh. It feels like rug burn in a way or as if i burnt my thigh. I rarely work out, but then again i am fit. I just woke up one morning and my upper thigh felt really funny. I dont know if i should go to the doctors because it might just be temporary and go away, but what if it doesnt. I am really concerned. Now there a red pimples forming on my thigh, which never happens. what does this mean? :$
Have you had sex recently unprotected or sex with a partner whose sexual history you don’t know?

I would think that the pimples are just ingrown hairs that can itch when infected. I am not sure if you would feel pain though. This area that has no air with air is susceptive of heat rashes, ingrown hairs, pimples, or even yeast infection….but they would rarely cause pain.

What could cause pain is herpes. Initial outbreak may not have visible signs but itching and pain may be present. The herpes bumps look more like blisters that ooze clear liquid but could also ooze blood. Later on, they would turn into crusts.

If you did have sex, you better have this checked because condom doesn’t prevent herpes in groins or thighs because it is skin to skin transmitted.
If you haven’t had sex, you may keep the area clean and dry and see if the bumps disappear or even apply some antibiotic creams to see if they go away.

If the bumps persist, see a dermatologist for further evaluation.
