Kinda gross....blackheads on inner thighs?

[denverprincess]

Okay, this is not very attractive. For as long as I can remember I have had these blackheads on my inner thighs. They are not really swollen, like a pimple. They are more like just a speck of dirt but when I squeeze them just a little of white putty like stuff comes out behind it. I have so many of these that if you rub my thigh you can feel them. If feels like you are rubbing sand or something. They are very small but VERY unsightly! I try to squeeze them in the bath or shower but they never seem to fully go away. They always come back and I am not dirty! I take a shower and a bath daily! Does anyone else have this?

This is my all-time most innermost secret revealed. Not ever my husband knows... why should he anyway? lol I get those things too!! Under my arms, between my thighs and in my armpits!! Who knows what's going on... I just know that they appear once in a while and I flick them right out. Kinda nasty smelling too. My assumption was that it was something ingrown and it just imbedded itself and created a home for itself in all my glorious skin folds. My situation isn't as extreme as yours. They never hurt or bother me, but have always perplexed me. Post here if you ever find anything out.

I get them too!
I can only ever get rid of them when they get quite big as I find my inner thighs quite unaccesible over my belly!lol. I have lots of little ones and wish I could get rid of them.

I have those too. I don't know what to do about them. If someone knows how to get rid of them then please let us know.

i get them, about once a week i have my dh check them for me. it isn't because you are dirty. what it is, is sweat and dead skin that get into your pores, just like any other acne. most people get them when you are heavy and or your legs and arms rub close. there really isn't anything you can do to get rid of them, just watch them and take care of them to keep them for getting worse. guys even get them, not a huge deal. my dh gets them under his arms (pits) and i believe it is from deodorant. occasionally i go with out deodorant for a day to give my skin a day off and dh doesn't where it to bed. noxema is great for cleansing those areas, and it wont irritate. i love how i feel cool and resfreshingly clean after using it. i use it on my face everyother day or so.
