You need to take care to wash this area carefully every morning and night. Some antibacterial cream and a band aid can help it go away. Also if you can change your shorts sometime mid day that will help. Its likely a plugged up pore and its from to much friction and not enough air.

Sounds like a boil. This is like a zit, however, it is caused by a different bacteria. Apply warm compresses until it heals and be sure to keep that area clean and dry. Use powders or whatever you can as bacteria LOVE moisture.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa


The exact cause of hidradenitis suppurativa is disputed. Because it looks similar to acne, some investigators believe that it is caused by the formation of keratin plugs in the follicles. Because hidradenitis suppurativa occurs in areas that contain apocrine, or sweat, glands, other investigators believe that it is caused by a blockage of the apocrine gland. In either case, the plugged gland or follicle becomes larger, ruptures, and becomes infected.





Hidradenitis suppurativa is diagnosed clinically based on its appearance. There are no lab tests or biopsies that establish the diagnosis. In the early stages, it can be misdiagnosed as an isolated boils. Many people are embarrassed by the multiple infections thinking they are ingrown hairs in sensitive areas. They do not go to the health care provider until the boils have become numerous or intolerable.





Treating hidradenitis suppurativa is difficult. It is best treated in the early stages before extensive scarring develops. However, it must be diagnosed correctly.
