Will improve: The key to improvement of your acne areas is to try to treat the underlying condition so that there are no flare ups that cause recurring inflammation. A dermatologist can best help you with a regimen that works. If you've lund one stick with it. Exfoliate regularly and avoid shaving those areas to deter ingrown hairs from developing.

Is it hidradenitis?: You may possibly have a condition called hidradenitis. See your primary care first as treating the condition early helps decrease the long term sequelae. Even with acne, generally, patients benefit from weight loss if excess weight is an issue, along with keeping area clean and dry. Some patients require topical as well as antibiotics by mouth to control the issue.
