It reduces inflammation by fighting off P. acne, one of the bacteria that contributes to inflammation and is found on the skin.

Along with things to treat acne, there are other things that can contribute to acne. Excessive make-up and cosmetics develop more acne. Such cosmetics include: hairspray, hair dye, and products with oil and grease.
Anything that rubs the skin excessively promotes acne. A misconstrued myth is scrubbing your skin hard with soaps to treat acne. This actually makes the condition worse. Instead, scrub gently and carefully when bathing. Also, clothing items like bra straps, hats, helmets, or shoulder pads produce the same result. Tight, hot clothing can exacerbate acne because sweat and humidity can build within the clothes.
There is no link between acne and a person's diet. This does not mean eat all the greasy foods you want. You still want to stay healthy with fruits and vegetables but all in all, there is no correlation.

How do you get rid of a large long lasting pimple?
Applying a product with salicylic acid (a derivitive of aspirin) will help reduce pain and irritation. Wait until the pimple comes to a head (a warm compress will speed the process) and after washing both face and hands use a tissue to express the bacteria and pus. Use a toner to wipe the area free of bacteria and prevent the spread of breakouts
Pimples are the direct result of skin pores becoming clogged with sebum, a naturally occurring oil, and dead skin cells. In these conditions the naturally occurring bacteria Propionibacterium acnes can cause inflammation, leading to inflamed, damaged tissue in the dermis, which can hurt like any infection.
Anything that is inflammatory is going to hurt, and unfortunately acne is just such an example.

It sounds like a bacterial rash. You could've picked it up from anywhere but it just spreads.
Firstly go to the pharmacy and get an anti-bacterial wash. It needs to be anti-bacterial, not anti-septic. You usually can get one for acne - this works well. Wash with this. The rash spreads from contact - so don't run the soap or cloth you wash with over this area as it can spread it to another part of your body. It will also spread from razor use - so if you must shave, use one razor for the infected area, and another razor for the other areas.
It will take ages to clear up. The sores should stop being pus-filled after about a week or two, but the sores will be scabby and then cause dark colouring for a while. Keep at it!
Especially men can have something such as this because of their jeans rubbing on their legs (ingrown hairs and a rash). It could be the detergent you are using as well. Women could be using something on their legs to remove hair and it's irritating or, they could also get a rash from jeans or the detergent they may be using. Rashes are even difficult for doctor's to diagnose at times, but to put your mind at rest see your doctor.
