Skin irritation in the groin is common and affects people of all ages and genders due to the area’s warmth, moisture, and friction.
**Cause**: Ingrown hairs are a main issue—when hair grows sideways into the skin, often after shaving, waxing, or wearing tight clothes. “Naturally curly or coarse hair” increases the risk.
**Symptoms**: These include “red, itchy bumps that resemble pimples,” sometimes filled with pus. Redness, swelling, and discomfort are also typical.
**Treatment**: Use “a warm compress to reduce swelling” and gentle exfoliation to clear dead skin. Avoid shaving until it heals. For ongoing or infected cases, “consult a dermatologist.”
Proper hygiene and gentle hair removal methods can help prevent future irritation.
