Hello, Im pretty overweight for my age and a few months ago i started to get this pimples near my groin and when i pop one it looks like if it was a pimple so im guessing they are pimples. but i dont know how to get rid of them for good. i put some stuff that i put on my face on there but it just made my skin near my groin all hard and pealing. it seems that i cant get these off and when i pop them it takes for ever and i hate having the feeling that i didnt pop them all is there something i can do to make this stop maybe some type of cream?

i got these and was so embarrased by them, but i was forced at one point to go to the derm. dr and take care of them because one got in just the wrong spot and got way too big... they had to lance that one and drain it.... i asked them repeatedly if it was from being overweight and they told me it wasnt.... my friend got them too and she said it was from being overweight which is why i asked... the dr said it wasnt from being overweight and that some people get them and some people dont... kind of sounded like when some people get cold sores and others dont.... anyway she gave me cream and i havent had any that have gotten bad since then... they are painful though, and about dime size for the smallest ones, and they leave horrible marks when they are gone that take years to fade....
What cream did she give you? and sometimes mine do get big and it hurts to walk to school. sometimes they pop and bleed when they rub when i walk. also did it go away for good? or do u still get some from time to time?

That sounds like what I get in the inside crease of my leg. I get what I call a "kernel" come up under the skin and is extremely sore. It takes months to work it way up where it forms a pimple that is extremely sore and even after I pop it or it ruptures on it's own, it still lets me know it is there. One lasts me a good 4 to 6 months from start to finish..
I was telling a friend about it just several days ago and she said she had them too and how she got rid of them is with alcohol, she starts cleaning the area as soon as she feels it starting and she swears it helps. Her thinking is that it is caused by bacteria on her skin and she uses the alcohol to get rid of the bacteria. She might have something in that thinking.. Why not try cleaning that area several times a day with alcohol and see if it works?
