Yes. All I can tell you is make sure you see a good dermatologist! Unfortunately unless you stay on top of it you will develop nasty scarring. Wear natural fabrics and whatever you do make sure you wear clothing that does not rub, chafe or be skin tight! that creates the perfect condition to promote these darned bumps! I slowed down a lot after menopause but if i wear something that rubs against the skin I still break out. Do not use soap that is very strong - check with doctor on the best choice for you and use a sitz bath or whatever using hot/tepid water to soak the area. It is heaven! Good luck
