I have recently developed some sores on my inner thigh. It started out as one, and it seemed like a pimple but then a few more popped up and it seems like they are taking a long time to heal (2-3 weeks). I dont have anything on my vagina or anywhere else on my body, just the inner thigh. I thought it could be from shaving, and spending a lot of time in the pool, or an ingrown hair. I've done some googling but there are a lot of different responses like follicular infection or boils... but I just dont know for sure. Hoping someone can help.

Hi tacycis and welcome to ehealth: Generally soap and water can be one of the best things to use in this area...Don't use the soap near the vaginal entrance...The Summer months are difficult with the sweating that we do...If this gets more serious see your doctor...Take care...

Thanks for the response, but do you know what it is? Seems to be taking a long time to heal. Sad
