My skin since my weight loss surgery is breaking down worse than before between my legs. The rub rash I got when I was very obese is nothing compared to the boils I am getting on my thighs in the wrinkled loose skin. It's sickening. I can't ever wear shorts because it shows.




You've got the Sixth Plague of Egypt and you're worried about not getting to wear shorts???

I actually feel sympathy with this poster. There is something so insidious about boils. Even the name "boil" is awful. I'm sorry dear -- wish I had advice for you. Only thing I can tell you is that athlete's foot powder works great between folds ... under breasts, etc. Maybe if its dry and fungus free ...? Try some Tinactin Powder?

If the boils you are describing are actually "hydradenitis suppurativa", none of that will work...in fact, almost nothing does. Google it and get the whole scoop!

Sounds like something you and your physician should photograph, document and get insurance to cover plastics for!
