hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Looks like you have developed a pyoderma ie a pus filled infected lesion
Such lesions appear as red dots firstly and then increase in size to become red , hot, tender pus filled lesions...
Avoid touching it too much..
You should try to keep the groin region clean and dry
Wear cotton undergarments inorder to reduce sweating.
Avoid using any kind of cold dreams or hair oils..as it might increase the lesion..
Clean the area with lukewarm water twice a day
Apply any topical antibiotic/antiseptic cream (like mupirocin gel) over the lesion
If it persists even after using the cream for 2-3 days, then you need to consult a skin specialist as lesions on the scalp are very painful and also they tend to increase in size very quickly...Take some pain killers along for relieving the associated pain and discomfort
Hope it helps

Hi
Welcome to HCM
From the description it seems to be a boil or furuncle( bacterial infection of hair follicle).
The area is prone to get infections as its hairy, moist and warm; suitable for bacterial pathogen to flourish.
To treat the same,
Do warm water compresses of the lesion.
Apply an antibiotic cream like mupirocin or fusidic acid. Also apply the cream in anal opening.
Wash your hands frequently
As the lesions are recurrent, consult a doctor near by to get a prescription of oral antibiotics
Hope that helped. Take care
