Hello.. Well by the way you mention it..It looks like staph infection..Its common where there are glands and hair.. Probably folliculitis..I don't think k you need to worry about it.  I would suggest you to maintain the region sweat free as much as possible..Wear cotton clothes, not very tight clothes and also can use powder...Thank you
