You may be suffering from fungal infection of the inner thighs groin and buttocks area which we call tinea cruris. this is commonly referred as jock itch. It is easily treatable by taking 4 to 6 weeks of treatment which includes tablets along with creams. Wrong treatment with over the counter creams like fourderm, panderm, quadriderm, dermi 5, betnovate dermikem OC candid B, hh zole leads to severe side effects and also repeated recurrences. please do not use super body wash over the affected areas. Do not use steroid containing combination creams. Please contact me using online consultation for detailed prescription. Do not delay treatment as it may spread for the on your body and also to other people living in the household.

If a fungal infection is not treated completely, then it recurs .
Hence should be treated precisely.
May be the pimple is an effect of a particular cream which u have used.

Hello,
If you have problem of recurrent fungal infection then you have to rule out environmental condition as well. Prevention is better than cure.
If boils ( as you calling it pimples) is also very common in that area then we hvae to also rule out any genital infection so basically its long list
