Working In High Temperature With Heavy Weight Now Getting Stretch Marks On My Inner Thighs With Pimples
Hey doc, I m 21 male and work construction and weight lift everyday. I m sweating probably 11 hours of the day in 80 degree heat. I have stretch marks on my inner thighs from weight lifting and I get a reoccurring pimple like or boil in my stretch mark its quite large and hard underneath and painful. It becomes slightly swollen when I squeeze it any idea on what it might be and how to cure it? thanks

From your history it appears that you are suffering from recurrent skin infection. This is on the moist areas due to sogginess of the skin caused by excessive sweating. What you need to do is to keep the area as dry as possible and use cotton garments.Use medicated soaps to reduce the incidence. don't try breking them as it can spread leading to a serious infection.
