Re: get a

Well Poster, Sounds like you have a problem here. I applaud you as a man for being so forth right. You must be a stand up guy.

I think you should definitely mention it before the appt. I would freak out if I saw open sours on a body part I was planning on rubbing against. Even if it is just Acne, It is the contact with the blood and the abrasions.

You need to get a handle on it.
Find out what is causing it.  Sweat? Then use deodorant on your groin.  We women use anti-perspirant on our delicate areas, after shaving so we don't get the lil bumps.

As far as the other guys scrubbing advice, it is widely known that you can spread acne by wiping the bacteria from one spot and then using that same cloth area to wipe another spot. You need to exfoliate but not till it is red.

If your acne is being caused by friction, then get different underwear.

You could be allergic to your fabric softener. I know loads of people who used to use it and now don't due to break outs.

Face it if you are having this problem all over, acne is a skin irritation gone wild. Find out what your skin does not like. Change to soaps with out dyes or perfumes. Change everything. I used to have these horrid breakouts on my face. Big nasty ZITS. I tried everything. Finally I went on vacation and my face cleared up. It was then I realized I was allergic to my cat.
So I paid more attention when I pet her and stopped letting her in my bed.

It cleared up about 1 year later she died of old age. No more cats for maddy. No more acne either.
It is clear you are having a reaction to something you have been doing since you were a child. Look around you for similarities what you eat, buy, wear, cats, dogs.
It is something,I promise.

When I wash my face, I use one part of the wash cloth per area do I don't speak germs around. I only use one wash cloth once.

Get a zit cream with saylic acid not benezoil peroxide. It works better at soothing the skin and does not make it flake up.

You can use it everywhere.

Keep the area clean and dry at all times.
Wear loose cotton undies only, trim up the area so you can keep it clean and aired our. DO NOT SHAVE IT and DONT PICK!!

Good luck.

Or you could wax your Zitty balls !!!

I don't know, I suspect using a saw on a pimple would *really* hurt, especially one on the shaft :P

(sorry, I couldn't resist)

Yes, put it on the zits twice a day as they develop. Also, you might want to use some (consult your doctor about this) hydro-cortisone cream. They'll take the swelling and redness out. You'll be surprised.

Yes, zits have some kind of bacterial action going. It's my uneducated, scientifically illiterate hypothesis that a zit is really bacteria that's being pushed out of your skin by your immune system. Hence, or almost instinctive reflex to pop them and get that nodule out-- a nodule that's probably hardened plaque from bacterial bio-film. (Some of it is just biofilm that hasn't hardened. Hence they also turn red-- due to immune action.
