Suggest Treatment For Lumps In Groin Area
Question: I have small lumps appearing around my groin area. A little irritating . What is the problem?
Brief Answer:
Probably infection of hair follicles. A Superficial self limiting infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these bumps that you have reported. I have reviewed your information and this is most suggestive of folliculitis. This is a minor superficial infection of the hair follicles. This is often common after shaving. if this is the case with you, try shaving superficial and avoid shaving too low. Also, warm and humid conditions aggravate it. Keep a strict body hygiene is highly recommended. These would help control the outbreak, accelerate healing and prevent recurrence.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
