I have these red bumps, well spots I guess. In between my thighs. Please no smartass remarks...they hurt when i walk because my legs rub together i have tried lotion but it's not dry skin. Sometimes they get pockets of something in them. Someone said Boils, but now I have scars and they are still on my thighs.

NO - I know Exactly what you are talking about. I think they are pimples but because the skin there is...softer and thinner and subjected to more friction and moisture, they look different. Don't worry about them, they'll go away. If you use powder that will stop the chaffing but clogg the pores.
Just wear (clean) jeans or shorts that prevent chaffing and try to stay clean and cool.
Good Luck.

It is a rash from the rubbing together of the skin....like a heat rash. It needs to be kept as dry as possible...use talcum power, carry a little container with you and keep the area dry as much as possible. It will feel so much better once the powder is on it, you will notice right away. Let me know what happens.

Medical advice is never easy to give over the internet - Definitely go see a doctor and have them treated regardless of what they may be. Only a physician can diagnose and treat whatever those bumps are. Best wishes for good health!

It could be a bad yeast infection in your skin. I used to work for a OB/GYN doc. office and many women came in with this problem and it was on other parts of their body as well. Definitely go see the doc. to get treated. A dermatologist would probably be best. If you can't get in to see one soon, go to your gynecologist or family doctor to at least get a prescription for relief and then see a dermtologist later for a more thorough evaluation.

It's where your in between (private area), and inner thighs get moist and sweaty and start causing friction as you walk and then your skin rubs raw. Use a pantyliner in between your periods to absorb regular vaginal discharge, and after a bath or shower use vagisil powder between your thighs to prevent chafing. Change your pantyliner regularly, you'll know when they need changed. In between showers or baths use the powder as needed daily to prevent chafing between your thighs.

It may be a condition called folluculitis and may need an oral antibiotic such as doxycycline for 2-3 weeks. I think you should see a physician if this has gone on for more than a month.

Puttin cream on will make it worse, use somethin antiseptic based like tea tree to take the redness and swellin down

sounds like heat bumps caused by your legs rubbing together. i'm not trying to be rude but sounds like you need to lose a little weight.
