I have a painful, dry, itchy patch of skin on the very inside of my thigh, where my underwear would hit.?

The skin in not bumpy just very itchy and painful. Could it be any form of STD even though it is closer to my thigh? Also i have similar patches of skin covering my stomach, back, and mostly my lower abdomen. Some are very painful while others do not hurt at all. I have had this for about a month. What could this be.

Reply:Sounds like eczema. Run a search on the web for ezcema. I have it and get it in the most odd places such as my eyelids!





The web will have pictures and also some remedies. I use Eurcerin lotion (not really sure of spelling) to help mine.





Sometimes, however, it gets out of control and the itching gets so bad, I have to go to the dermatologist for prescription cream.





I do NOT think that it is an STD, especially since you have the same thing on other parts of your body. Eczema usually attacks sensitive areas.





Good luck to you.....
Reply:I believe that you may have a condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa.of re-occurring boils/ cysts/abscesses , that are often misdiagnosed as ingrown hairs, herpes, being unclean or over wieght and folliculitis. This is a newly diagnosed skin condition , but there is a lot of info out there.


Here is a link :

If this sounds like it might be you, READ it, PRINT it out, and TAKE it to your DOC.


Its better to try to start treatment soon, it can spread over the body if left untreated. These boils can become quite large and painful. Sometimes even lasting for weeks or months , do not attempt to POP them they can then tunnel under your skin and spread all over the body. Most common areas are armpits, groin, binkni line, inner legs, and intimate places and basically anywhere that sweats and rub against clothing. Stress is a big inducer.





There is a support group at MSN

This is also a link to a PDF of a study in Germany about HS and if it is genetic... I thought it was intresting :

and a yahoo one, and I am open for questions!


I have had this for 8 years, I was misdiagnosed for a LONG time, It was very embarrassing, painful and scary. I am just trying to help out so you don’t have to wait as long as I did.





Currently I have 5 , 2 next to each other on my right inner groin. 2 in my upper HAIR area, and 1 med sized on my butt on the panty line, and they do come every week or so. I find that certian foods, not having a regular showering regimen, wearing clothing that irratiates the area.. and STRESS usually are a precusor to getting one.





I also prefer to use NEXCARE bandages.. there are 2 kinds I like for comfort and stay put reasons..


the first is like a clear bandaid.... soft on the edges with a small area of bandage... helps with those buggers when they are on bikni line.. usually stay for me.. or occasionally on my inner thigh for those I like the foamy sponge like ones that are beige in color.. I think they are 3M.
