Blister Like Bumps In The Groin Area And Inner Thigh. No Relief From Lotriman Ointment
I have had small blister like bumps on my groin area for six months now, mostly on my waist line where my underwear rub, but they have appeared in other areas of the groin. they are moving up by my naval and i noticed one forming on my inner thigh. I have had no urination pain or glandular flare ups. They it's when they dry up and scab over. I have been using Lotriman hoping it was jock itch but they keep appearing in new places.

Hi
Thanks for your query
Seems like you have developed folliculitis in the groin.
Now firstly I would advise you to keep the area clean and dry as much as possible.
Do not apply any kind of moisturizing creams/lotions or oil over the affected area.
Wear cotton undergarments so as to decrease the amount of sweating.
Clean the area with lukewarm water twice a day and apply an antibiotic cream over the area twice daily.
If inspite of the above measures, the lesion persists or continues to increase in size, then you might need a course of oral antibiotics along with pain killers.
In that case, I would advise you to visit a dermatologist for proper assessment and treatment.
Hope it helps
