Heat Rash Around Groin, Knot Coming Up Under The Skin, Boils Around Hips Without Head. Using Witch Hazel. Remedy?
I have a heat rash around my groin. I have been treating it with witch hazel for a few days now and noticed that it is getting smaller but now there is what appears to be a knot coming up under the skin now. I have bad boils come up around my hips and it is similar to that but it has no head on it. What might this be and can it be cured?
