Had Chaffed In My Mid To Upper Thigh When I Was Young. Now Have Bumps In Thighs When Wearing Certain Clothes. Swell, Puss. Treatment
Greetings, when I was young I chaffed in my mid to upper thigh, especially, during my marching band and basketball playing days. Now I'm experiencing bumps on the inner and upper thigh that when I wear certain clothing that rubs my legs. they swell and often have bumps with puss. Would general antibacterial cream work?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some ingrowing hair follicle infection or some cloth allergy.
Avoid synthetic clothes, wear cotton clothes.
Keep good air ways so that evaporation of sweat can be avoided.
You can use antibiotic cream locally.
If there is more infection leading to pus formation, go for oral antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor.
Ok and take care.
