for quite a few years i have had problems with getting lesions, (only in hot areas, armpits, inner thighs, under breasts, and on front of pelvic area where you typically shave.) now these bumps start as a red blotch, raised and very hard. after a few days it will get softer, and it will start to look purplish. Now if i pop them, i actually get a extremely thick discharge like the consistancy of ketchup (if that makes sense) and it will usually be yellowish/green. almost identical as if you had a sinus infection, and the mucus you cough up, that color. when i get these, the surrounding area will be red and hot and very painful. does anyone have any idea on what this could possibly be? i have been told ingrown hair folicles, to cellulitus. no antibiotic or topical cream has worked yet. and mind you this is very embarrassing showing my genital area to my other half. please respond back.
