I'm prone to ingrown hairs / red cystic type lumps around my inner thighs. I know, how delightful.
Usually they stick around a week or two depending on how good I am at LEAVING THEM THE HELL ALONE but I've got one persistent little bugger who's been around over a month now and I'm a bit worried about.
I've (obviously) picked and squeezed him a bit and he's been a bit pus-ey on and off, but nothing spectacular. He's now a bit red and scabby.
The thing that I'm wondering about, though, is that over the past couple of days a red 'trail' has developed in the skin leading to / away from him. It's about 2cm wide and extends about 10-15cm around my thigh, out and up towards my hip.
The 'trail' is slightly achy if I press it but not painful or itchy.
I've stuck on some savlon and covered the spot thing with a dressing. Is that sufficient for now, do you reckon? At what point would I want to get somebody who knows what they're doing to have a look?
