Boils like formations in groin only
I have been getting boils like formations near my groin area , first a boil like gets formed and then white pus gets formed and then it takes 4-5 days to completely go , but it pains a lot .
It's recurring since few months , observed once I used pears soap (glycerin) I saw sudden outburst of boils and it pained a lot.
It also sometime looks like there is some infection within hair , as black heads kinda gets formed also.
I'm REALLY WORRIED that its only boils or its something more serious like STDs , male herpes.
I have not been sexually active for the past 1 year , also I have always used protection.
Kindly help

A proper analysis has to be done to check if the boil is infected and spreading , or if there are any aggravating factors . You need to stop using soap and wash the area with plain water to avoid any irritation . We can clinically examine and decide the further plan of action . You can visit us or do an online consultation with us
