A member asked:

I'm breaking out and itching on my inner thighs and sides. when i scratch it turns into white scab. some are drying up and leaving a scar.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Skin lesions: Unfortunately, without seeing your break out, it's hard to tell what's going on. Boils is a frequent cause of beakouts in the inner thighs, but this needs to be confirmed in a face to face evaluation.
