I have had the same problem for many years now. When i asked my ob/gyn she
told me that the "blisters" were normal they do resemble more of a large
pimple though and can be very painful at times, i also get them under my
breasts. These have caused more emotional pain than anything even though i
have a very understanding husband it is hard to feel attractive with it in
these intimate areas. I have just recently found something that has
drastically helped it is called Body Benefits by Body image it is an
antibacterial hand scrub (like i said i have tried just about everything)
also I use a powder to keep the moisture down and it has really made a
difference. Hope this helps
