Boils : Boils in the groin area could be simply boils, mrsa, or maybe the condition hidradenitis suppurativa. Hidradenitis suppurativa presents as boils, cysts, and sometimes scarring lesions in the groin, armpit, under the breasts, or buttock area. Treatment options are discussed in the link below. I hope that helps!
