HI,this can be Hidradenitis Suppurativa which does involve hair follicles.Most abscesses are harmless and may go away on their own without treatment.Keep in mind that groin abscess can be a sign of an infection.You should consider visiting your provider because abscess need to be drain and treated with antibiotics.Treatments at home like applying warm compress to the area can be helpful.
Keep the area clean. You can use an antiseptic cleanser and warm compress. If the problem is persistent then consult a dermatoligist
