Hi I've been getting these blisters between my legs upper thigh in between theres about 10 to 15 on each leg & they were all blisters but I am in a soccer camp so im running and my legs are rubbing so they popped & now they're very painful. I've been googling some stuff about it & some people say its herpes but that's not what it looks like- is it just a rash???
Im only 14 & I've never done anything with anyone. Never kissed a boy, etc.

Use cornstarch or baby powder. I have daughters in soccer they use it all the time works great

Some call it "personal chaffing" others call it "heat rash", either way it is a pain in the caboose!
When you are running around and getting all hot and sweaty, your thighs are rubbing together and combined with the sweat, it is irritating the pores on your thighs, which then get clogged, causing the blisters. I suggest you wear long pants until they are healed, it should only take about a day or two, you may also wish to use the baby powder or cornstarch as recommended by a previous poster. Whatever you do, make sure you tell and adult, so they can be aware of your condition and rule out some other form of dermatitis, such as poison ivy, oak or sumac!

Blisters can be caused by a number of conditions and environmental agents, including:
Friction. Rubbing or pinching can cause skin irritation and blistering. Friction blisters frequently occur on the hands and feet.
Disease. Blisters are symptomatic of skin disorders such as impetigo, incontinentia pigmenti syndrome (IPS), and pemphigus vulgaris. Blisters may also be caused by diseases such as herpes and chickenpox.
Contact dermatitis. Skin contact with an allergen (e.g., latex, cosmetics, cleaning solutions) can trigger redness, irritation, rash, and blistering of the skin. Blisters also typically appear after skin contact with poison ivy, oak, or sumac.
Burns. Blisters appear in cases of severe sunburn and thermal burns.
Frostbite. Severely frostbitten skin frequently blisters.
Trauma. Blood blisters are caused by trauma to the skin.
For treatment, I suggest to see the doctor for professional help.
To prevent it, wear protection cream or something on those areas.

oh god i had a flashback of all the nasty crud i picked up in summer soccer camp. i used gold bond powder the stuff is magic. make sure you always wear clean shorts and change into clean shorts between sessions that will also help. there should be a trainer at camp have him check you out to make sure it's nothing serious. ow danged heat rash man you brought back some nasty memories. had tons of fun at those camps too though so don't let this ruin it for you and get it checked out.

There are a variety of products that reduce the friction, which usually eliminates the problem, unless there's an infection that also needs to be treated. Here's links to an article that describes treatments and different products. I know a few people who swear by Gold Bond powder.

See a professional as quickly as available. it must be embarrassing for you, yet bear in innovations that for the duration of the long-term it somewhat is going to be better to be certain a doctor. till then I advise you place on underclothes and attempt to not aggravate issues to any extent further.
