Blackheads on inner thighs??

Hello my wise and wonderful colleagues. I had a new Brazilian client yesterday and as I was examining her skin I noticed something on on her upper inner thighs and at closer look found that she had blackheads on both. Not just one or two, but dozens. Has anyone ever run across this and if so, what did you do? She said that she has had them for years and that nothing she has tried has worked. Would really like to help her, but not sure if what I would normally use for my acne clients would be appropriate for that area considering product migration to the brazilian area and other body openings. Thanks for your insight and input.

I have this condition, Dr's have never said a name for it. I've scrubbed the area in different ways under hot water, cold water, scrubbing lotion. And nothing had made a difference. It's not a simple thing to deal with and I feel ashamed in the intimacy with my partner. I've just been lucky he says he doesn't care. But a simple thin Lille wearing a bathing suit is difficult. So if anyone that has worked with this condition and has gotten results please post the formula because I would love to try it.

I would suggest you post this on the Acne Group-Face Reality Acne Clinic owner Laura Cooksey and her staff are so knowledgable. I'm just recently certified with them, but little experience to date and have not seen your condition as yet.

i too have had a milder case of this. weight has a lot to do with it. also, imhave an auto immune disorder, thyroid related, that makes the skin on my whole body a challange.

heres what helps me, some may agree or disagree, but it helps, and my thighs are finally clear except the occasional folliculi

i use chlorohexidine pre surgical wash a few times a week after exfoliating the area. i let it sit for 2 mins before rinsing. its a anti microb, anti bacterial solution. it can be found in the wound care section of drug store. my doctor said it was fine, but not to over use the product. however, i can not shave or wax my legs. my skin is far to sensitive. its been a year since i last removed the hair, and that too has been a tremendous help. i know its not easy to give up removing leg and bikini linenhair, but in my case, i irritation is not worth it.
