Hi, I have had what the derm believes to be intertrigo on my scrotum off and on in the past. This time around I have had it or something for about two months and was treating with shea butter for comfort, but it hasn t gone away, i plan to go get some nystatin and give that a try. Anyway, my main question is i started with about 3 pimples on my inner thighs, only they are not pimples, they are very sore, very swollen ,and some puss comes out but doesn t really relieve them. Now I have 1 on my for arm and about 4 more on thighs and knee. Could these two issues be related? Oh, and now my wife has about three of these pimple like things.
You must be having recurrent staphylococcal abscesses. I suggest you send pus for culture and start oxacillin 500 mg thrice a day for 5 days. Check for diabetes and anemia
