I ask bc I have struggled my while life with what I thought was acne. But a dermatologist told me what I had was HS, (Hidrandenitis Suppurative). She prescribed a diuretic and some washes that totally cleared up a life time of this crap. When I went to a doctor I found out that i had swollen sweat glands along the inside of my vulva. I thought I had cancer. Summer is very hard on the lower body parts too. It will require a out patient appt with a surgeon to lance it. I feel your pain. But also the first few posts were very funny.
