A member asked:
I am experiencing a large and painful blackhead on the inside of my right thigh and is surrounded by about 3 inches of redness around it radially.

Infection. : That’s sounds like an infection to me. The area of redness around the area you describe is likely cellulitis. And the blackhead that you describe could be an abscess. This needs to be evaluated right away. MRSA infection is a possibility, And this could spread quite quickly.

Please show your: parents. You may have cellulitis around an abscess. Medical assessment for infection would be prudent.
