Brief Answer:
Raised pimples usually occur in tinea corporis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Tinea cruris ( fungal skin infection) usually develops in warm and moist areas of the body, and is favored by warm conditions.
Pinples in affected areas develop after itching and scratching these areas and are filled with near transparent fluid.
Keeping these areas clean and dry, besides anti fungal treatment is indispensable in treatment and in reducing itching and pimples.
