I have developed some pimples or cysts in my groin area, Some open and

produce blood and puss and other don't but turn a dark red like a blood

blister. What are they and can I do to correct this skin problem?

Jack:

If you shave or pluck the hairs, stop. Try washing with Hibiclens (OTC antiseptic) and apply bacitracin or neosporin ointment twice a day. Never squeeze the pimples.

Good luck.
