What Causes Recurring Pus Filled Sores On Stretch Marks Of Inner Thigh?
Hi,so I sometimes get these odd pimple looking sores on my stretch marks on my inner thigh , I noticed today that one had gotten inflamed as well as having a giant head. I started looking closer and noticed it wasn t a pimple. It was filled with puss and I barely touched it and it busted open. I have no idea what these are ,what causes it,and above all,how to treat it. Any advice?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicles. I suggest using hydrogen peroxide to clean the area. I also suggest using Neosporin cream for local application.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
