Recently I have been getting what appears to be little like clusters of pimples on my right inner thigh I had like 4. they get white heads I squezze them and the puss comes out then they go away. I thought they were ingrown hairs but now I'm not sure. I went to bed last night with 3 below my belly button. They were itchy I thought they were some kind of an insect bit. Then I woke up this morning to all three of them having white heads.
I got 1 on my arm. I had a couple on my legs. The only place now is the lower belly button and I think I may have 1 behind my scrotum.


I have always shaved my body and recently stopped and the hair is getting pretty long. I don't know if that is why. Also I started taking vitmain be pills recently. But I stopped about 4 days ago and its till happeneing.

Everybody says its stress and its no big deal there just pimples but to me it is because I have never had them come up in places like this before


Please help

Thanks

Well, when people tell you it's no big deal, it really isn't, pimples can come up anywhere on the body, not just the face, usually it can be due to stress but most of the time its more of a hygiene issue when its somewhere else, just try to wash those places more when you are in the shower/bath/whatever. I have even had this happen to me once, it is really nothing to worry about, they should go away in a couple of days or so.

Yea but I shower at least 2 times a day. And I always have. I'm a very clean person. Lol

I was so afraid I had like herpes or somehting. But I don't have it on my genitals at all. I guess I'm just over reacting. Maybe its just my age. Lol I feel like I'm getting old. I'm 28

Lol, its all good, like I said, you have nothing to worry about, they will come and go in the places that they please.

If these bumps look like acne, and you can sqeeze pus from them, and if occasional red bumps without white head also appear, then this is probably - folliculitis. Folliculitis is infection of the hair follicle, while in acne only a sebaceus (oil) gland attached to hair follicle is inflamed.

Bacterial folliculitis is caused by Staphylococcus aureus (staph). Staph often lives on the skin of healthy persons. Folliculitis may result from minor skin trauma (shaving, irritation of tight clothes), or sharing sport equipment, towels and such with others who have staph skin infection.

Wash all your clothes, bed lining, throw away any old razors. Get on OCT antibiotic ointment, but don't exaggerate with it to prevent developing staph resistance. Wear comfortable, airy clothes.
