Hello
Welcome to the HCM
Dear stretch marks happens when there is sudden gain of weight or loss of weight due to stretching of skin.As in pregnancy weight increase gradualy so if olive oil or stretch mark reducing oil is applied during antenatal period,there are less chances of stretch marks.
As stretch marks once happened are really very stubborn to clear so you may try applying oil readily available in stores.
For large pimple like swellings or bumps I doubt about boils(hair follicle infection) ,but these need to be seen in person first to know the cause,as some viral infection like herpes;warts and shingles are among the other causes which can cause swollen spots in groin.
So I would suggest get checked by a dermatologist and get examined thoroughly to treat accordingly.
