Accepted Answer

Groin infx/abscess?: Sounds like it may be a groin abscess or possible folliculitits.  Certainly a possible infection may be there causing your issues that periodic arise in the groin.  See the Dr. when they are present, and get the proper diagnosis as the best treatment would follow. Sometimes cystic abscesses need to be !&amp;D'd/excised or they will continue to return as long as their "core" remains.  Best wishes.

Question 5

what causes pimples, or boils in groin?

Accepted Answer

Often bacteria: The groin is a common place to get boils or "pimple like" lesions.  Naturally occuring bacteria like staph is on our skin, and sometimes shaving, or small infected hair follicles can get inflamed and irritated causing boils, absceses, or pimple like lesions.  You should see a dr. And get an exam and proper treatment, good luck.

Question 10

Not HPV: Genital warts and other HPV infections don't cause pimple-like problems. The large majority of genital area skin problems are not caused by STDs.
