What Causes Small, Itchy And Pimple-like Bumps On Thighs And Hips?
Hi, I have had small, itchy, pimple-like bumps (that don t pop) on my inner thigh. They multiplied and spread from my inner thigh to the back of my thigh, ,to my butt, and now to my hips and the area where the top of my pants would go. Mind you they are not on my vaginal area. I have also noticed that I have been breaking out on my face, which is not normal.

Thank you for query.It may be due to fungal infection based on description.Please take following precautions.Use loose cotton clothes and inner wears.Keep area dry.Apply antifungals like terbinafine which is fungicidal.Once subsides use regularly antifungal dusting powders like candid or absorb powder to prevent recurrence.Maintaining moisture free area is most important to prevent recurrence.Check if you have any diabetes.consult doctor if does not subside.You can get back to me for any clarifications .Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
