Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of pimples in the groin area which occurs due to clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum, dead skin and bacteria get infected. It could be due to frictional heat generation.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you wash the area with mild soap and cold water twice a day. You should apply clindamycin gel along with aloe vera gel. wear loose clothes and apply calamine lotion to prevent itching. Also, drink 5-8 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If the condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult a dermatologist. The doctor may prescribe antibiotics course.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
