Pimple like bumps on inside of thighs... - Women's Health Message Board

loudy · 12-30-2005, 12:01 PM

For about 3-4 years now I have had a problem with pimples on the onside of my thighs- where top part of your thighs rubb together (or don't if you're a stick!) In the process of having a yearly, I've asked doctors about them, and have been told its not an STD. One doctor gave me a cream which did nothing. Some of them are more like a pimple that when squeezed, thick white stuff smelly stuff comes out. Others have a smaller amount of the white stuff with what I assume is a hair in the middle. Others are simply black heads. I think that I began to get these when I started getting heavier, and my thighs rubbed together a lot more. I've begun to use a acne body wash and luffah everyday- but its not working. Let me say that I do shower everyday and have very good personal hygiene .

Does anyone have this problem too? What do you do, or suggest to do- short of losing weight fast?
Thanks!

well I sort of have the same problem but mine look like boils and yes I am a big person so I have them in more places like on my stomach where my waist band of my jeans rub and under my arms but I do get some of them to pop and some can be black heads. The people who responded to my post said to use antibacterial soap like the doctors use before surgery. Shower everyday and when you get out of the shower try to keep it dry cause its probably from a lot of bacteria build up and I would put some hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol on it frequently to kill the bacteria and if you pop them try not to let it spread to create more. Hope this helped. Oh and if you get any other advice I would sure love to hear about it please.

I do too, didn't see your post, and I jus posted almost the samething. My also started when I gained a lot of weight. It is just gross and I wish it would go away! I feel dirty! I would feel funny putting hydrogen per. down there though!
