Pimples, Bumps Around Pubic Area, Anus, Between Thighs. Ingrown Hair Or Some Other Condition?
I have been having a lot of pimples/bumps around my pubic area, between my thighs, and around the anus . I have been getting them for probably a year now, I usually get more than one at the same time. I am not sexually active, and it s really iritating. I only trim my pubic hairs,not shave, so what else could it be other than ingrown hairs?

hello
You seem to be getting recurrent folliculitis which is due to bacterial infection.
Since you are getting repeated episodes of folliculitis, it is more likely that you are harbouring the bacteria that is staphylococcus in your body folds.
so you need to apply bactroban cream twice a day in your natal cleft, groins for a week every month for 3 months.these creams are not over the counter but you will need a prescription for it.
