Botox is fda approved for treating excessive sweating involving the underarms. For the groin area, using a powder such as zeasorb powder can help minimize this issue. If recurrent boils are an issue, using antibacterial soap such as hibiclens may help. In addition, a course of oral antibiotics and use of Bactroban (mupirocin) Ointment to decolonize the nostrils and fingernails may help.  See a dermatologist.

Hidradenitis suppurativa, with other conditions still possible. Antibiotics are the mainstay treatment, rubbing, pressure and or irritation should be avoided at all cost, sometimes that may involve weight loss. Your doc with the help of a dermatologist may be able to address further.

Shaving nicks the skin and the razor may be introducing bacteria into the skin. Use a new razor or razor blade each time you shave. Wash the skin good with soap and water before ANS after shaving. For now stop shaving the area until the area completely heals up.
