Folliculitis in the groin

July 11 / 2025

 

Folliculitis in the groin can be caused by several factors, including bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. Triggers for this condition include hair removal, wearing tight clothing, and scratching, which can lead to open sores. Symptoms typically include red or pus-filled bumps resembling acne around the hair follicles, accompanied by pain and itching. In severe cases, swollen lymph nodes and fever may occur. If left untreated, it could progress into an abscess. It is important to consult a doctor early to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment.

 

At Ramkhamhaeng Hospital, we have a team of dermatology specialists who are experienced in managing skin problems in the intimate areas of men. The consultations are conducted by male doctors in private examination rooms, ensuring confidentiality. You can confidently seek advice and treatment.

 

Don't let embarrassment interfere with your health, as untreated skin issues can worsen over time, making treatment more difficult. Early consultation is the best way to take care of yourself.
