I would not be surprised if there was a connection with the cysts and
PCOS. I get them between my legs (inner theigh) really bad. Sometimes
I can walk. They hurt and they are huge but after 1-2 days they shrink
back down and go away for a while. I have always thought of them as
ingrown hairs because the ones that did pop had a hair in them. But I
do get them occasionally under my breasts. It seems like they form in
your creases like were the bra goes and your underwear.
