May need antibiotics: A primary care doctor can check to see if there is acne in the skin down there, or if it is MRSA (antibiotic resistant bacteria) causing pustules. Sometimes it is folliculitis by non-resistant bacteria. Antibiotics are not over-the-counter except for the first aid ointments like neosporin. However, "stronger" oral prescription antibiotics may be needed.

Examination?: Have you seen a family doctor or a dermatologist for this condition? Hidradenitis is a condition of recurrent deep skin infections in groins or axillary areas. That can be a condition difficult to treat, may need prolonged antibiotics and sometimes surgery.
