Groin area pimples or cysts?

by Jack Smith, Aug 10, 2000 12:00AM
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.
