Why and is it normal ?

[bambi_21]

I have been suffering from dark spots, blackheads, pimple like bumps on my inner thighs, vaginal area and my bottom.. I shower twice a day and exfoliate. I'm not sure exactly what caused this but it's hard to live a normal life with this problem. I can't were shorts because of this embarrassment. Please help. Anything to take this away!

Hello,
It can be due to contact dermatitis or folliculitis. Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Is there chafing?  If so, you may want to drop a few pounds and tone your legs to keep the skin off itself.  I would try tea tree oil as it will control bacteria and fungus and should clear up the pores.  It does smell like turpentine, so try it at night before bed.
