My inside thighs have acne, and when I excerscise about a week later a pimple full of pus forms, VERY PAINFUL!

I used to have the same problem as you! I am overweight as well, and basically what is happening is your thighs are rubbing together when you exercise, and the sweaty spandex is irritating your skin.


I cleared up my problem by trading in the spandex for breathable cotton, but make sure the shorts are long enough so your thighs remain covered and do not rub together during the exercise.


I begain using Dial Antibacterial Soap (the gold bar) in the shower and would wipe my inner thighs down with Stridex 2% salicylic acid acne pads (the red box).


Now, the really big painful pus ones are due to ingrown hairs. The Stridex pads help with that in that they really clean out and open your pores not letting hairs become in-grown. And the pads will deep-clean dirt to help with the tiny red bumps that I found so unattractive on myself. Now I only get a bump on a rare occasion.


Oh- and always shower right after exercising so the sweat doesnt linger and worsen acne problems!





Hope I helped! =)|||You are sweating and it is irritating the skin. The spandex and washing it helps but if you will use some diaper rash medicine, it will clear it up over night.|||When I read that you wear spandex....that right there is your answer.


What this is between your thighs is a combination of a heat rash and ingrown hairs...


The spandex is what is causing all of this grief...


Continue to do what you are doing with the washing of the area and all of that...but get rid of the spandex...it doesn%26#039;t allow your skin to breathe....and especially if you%26#039;re putting them on without being washed what good does anything you do for your skin do?


Wear cotton sweats...or wear cotton shorts...


This type of material allows your skin to breathe and you should start to heal up in about 4 days...


If not...then you might want to see a doctor...


But consider this...it may be a fungal infection too...like athletes feet...only on your inner thighs...


What you could do is try spraying some tinactin spray on the area...if all else fails...


Good luck|||i think the other comments are partially right, but i believe the condition is impetigo - google it and see if that matches what you have - generally caused by sweaty clothing kept close to the skin and the resulting bacteria buildup in hair follicles i believe.|||This happens to over weight people their thighs rub together and form a pimple that can be very painful.Try to powder you thighs before exercise.
