Having bumps or pimples on your inner thigh can make going about your daily activities very uncomfortable. It can be even more painful if you develop a large boil or cyst in your groin area. The area at the top of your legs is prone to chaffing and this can make it difficult to get rid of bumps on your inner thigh.
Your groin area between your legs is the perfect environment for different kinds of bumps and lumps to appear. The dark, warm, moist conditions on your inner thigh cause bacteria and fungi to infect your skin. When the skin’s glands and pores become blocked and infected, pus-filled cysts, pimples, spots, boils and lumps can develop on your inner thigh.
Some of the causes for pimple-like bumps to appear between your thighs are shaving, waxing, wearing tight clothing, bacterial or fungal infection, or a sexually transmitted disease (STD). You may be able to get rid of an inner thigh pimple or boil by using natural home remedies that have antimicrobial properties that can help to soothe the infection. Ingredients like aloe vera, tea tree oil, witch hazel, and honey can also help to promote healing of bumps and cysts on inner thigh by reducing inflammation.
In this article, you will find many helpful home remedies to help get rid of bumps on your inner thigh. First of all, let’s look at what could be causing unsightly pimples or boils to appear in and around your groin area.
Possible Reasons for a Cyst, Boil or Bump on the Inner Thigh
Here are some of the most common reasons for inner thigh pimples, boils, and cysts. Knowing the cause of bumps on the top of your legs can also help you prevent these types of pimples and bumps reappearing in the future.
Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa happens when glands become blocked leading to large inflamed bumps in your groin, armpits, and under your breasts. You may also have a rash that affects the tops of your legs.
According to dermatologist Dr. Amanda Oakley, it’s not known what causes hidradenitis suppurativa. However, friction and blocked glands appear to be the main cause. The result can be painful papules and pustules in and around the groin area.
The American Academy of Dermatology mentions that other symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa on the inner thigh are deep-acne like cysts, blackheads and boils.
