I commonly get boils between my thighs. i'm overweight & have no signs of diabetes , wondering if it's serious and how to stop it?

Rubbing: Anywhere that skin is in contact with skin can lead to skin breakdown, sores, and infections. If your thighs are touching, then keeping the area covered and dry is helpful, and the problem should resolve if you lose enough weight so that the inner thighs are no longer rubbing.
