Folliculitis
If hair follicles in your groin become inflamed, they can cause folliculitis – small pimple-like bumps to appear on your thighs. The Mayo Clinic says that these inflamed bumps can become very itchy and sore. The condition can be embarrassing, especially if you have an urge to frequently scratch your groin. Dr. Amanda Oakley Dermatologist, says that a certain type of folliculitis can cause nodular and cyst-like lesions on inner thighs.
What is the Difference between a Boil and Skin Cyst?
A boil is a common, painful infection of a hair follicle and the surrounding skin. It begins as a red lump, then fills with pus as white blood cells rush in to fight the infection. The symptoms of boils can include swelling, redness and pain. Boils have white or yellow tip and can weep or ooze.
Cysts are common on the skin and can appear anywhere. Skin cysts are closed pockets of tissue that can be filled with fluid, pus, or other material. They feel like large peas under the surface of the skin. They are usually slow growing, painless and smooth to touch when they are rolled under the skin.
How is a boil different from pimple?
Dr. Amy Espy-Smith, the area medical director of an urgent care clinic, says that pimples are caused by a blockage in a hair follicle. Pimples are typically smaller, and not as painful as boils.
