The bumps you’re experiencing in the groin and belly button area could be due to folliculitis or an infection, possibly triggered by the change in climate from Pune to Bangalore.
Next Steps
• Keep the area clean and dry.
• Use a mild antibacterial soap and avoid tight clothing.
• Over-the-counter topical antibiotics can help if it’s mild.
Please consult a Cosmetologist/dermatologist for a thorough evaluation.
Health Tips
• Avoid scratching the area to prevent further irritation.
• Keep an eye on any signs of increased redness, swelling, or pain, and seek medical attention if they appear.
