Yes that's normal. The groin area is problematic for a lot of people. Not shaving, moisturizing that area, letting that area breathe, using hibiclens daily or every couple days, and antibacterial soap like dial or medicinal soaps with tea tree oil or natural oils may help .

That’s the only place I ever get them and they are unbearable, was misdiagnosed till finally a year ago I was told I have stage 3 HS . Been on antibiotics had a few weeks no pain but they back again praying for you I completely understand

Thank you it's weirdly comforting to know that I'm not the only one

Unfortunately it is and it sucks 😩

Totally normal
