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.
