I have this sort of boil/huge pimple that has not yet formed a white head or such on my inner thigh, I ve gotten a few of them lately, mostly on my inner thighs though it s been a bit since the last one and the amount is starting to lessen, it s big and they usually take some time before they go away either by themselves or through popping, what is it?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

You might have developed an infected cyst.

THIS NEEDS TO BE DRAINED SURGICALLY,

Along with this oral as well as topical antibiotics are must.

The choice of antibiotic can be best based on culture and sensitivity.

Please meet a dermatologist and discuss regarding this.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
