...count... help. Cystic pimples, peeling skin, and more...? K, so these are all probably unrelated but the fact that I am now suffering from all of them at once is making it get out of hand. Advice on any or all is appreciated.- For as long as I can remember (although probably not when I was a little kid), I've had these cystic zits on my inner thighs... they're pretty large, and they will HURT for a few days before kind of going down a little bit - I've tried using benzoyl peroxide on them, but it didn't really do much... They're pretty chronic and Google has shown that while other people suffer from the same thing, no one has really found a solution.- The skin on the bottom of my feet started peeling about one or two months ago - it started out with what just looked like some sort of blister on my left foot, or actually I'd describe it as looking like air trapped under a bit of the skin, and then that kind of opened up, and now it's peeling pretty badly... It's actually contained to pretty much the balls of my feet...(to be continued)- I also have this weird benign bumpy thing on my underarm - there's a row of about four or five hair follicles that are raised - it looks like the skin is irritated, but I've had this for at least 10 years, and it doesn't hurt or anything, it just looks like it should.- I have a mosquito bite. And it ITCHES.

Hi:What you call the cystic acne on your thighs you say you found that other people suffer from them but no has found a solution. Did you find information on a recurring skin condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa? That is what it sounds like to me and that is probably what is in your armpit as well, just another stage of it. Your groin, inner thigh where your body connects to your leg is where they go usually, also your armpit, breasts and butt cheeks. Other body parts as well but not as commonly.Tell tale signs of Hidradenitis is abscesses that either drain or don't drain but repeatedly come and go, purple scars, can flair with your monthly hormones, usually they are pretty close to each other....any of this sound familiar. If so, then surf the net and find out all your can about Hidradenitis Suppurativa and take it to your doctor. Taking care of it the best you can in the earlier stages is your only hope of controlling it.As for feet, that is a mystery to me.Good luck,
