I get this sore right on my waistline in the front. I have a gut on me and think I get these because I'm fat. The waistband on my underwear makes it hurt. It looks like a zit or something and hurts really bad. Sometimes it actually bruises up. What do I do?

Sounds like a clogged pore in your skin. Perhaps you need to seriously think about asking your doctor about it OR perhaps your gym teacher. Good Luck!
It might even be a boil. Wal-Mart sells a cream called Boil-Ease. A boil will have a pretty good sized red ring around it and will feel hot to the touch and will feel hard underneath the skin. If it doesn't clear up, I'd go to the Dr.
If it's a boil, treat by soaking in 1 part bleach fill tub with hot water 2 x day, apply wash towel/hot water to area till towel gets cold as many time as u can. Boil needs to puff up and pop once that happens try squeezing till puss starts ozzing out. It will be painful till it pops just keep area as clean as possible it usually takes about 2 weeks for it to puff up and bust. Once it pops u can start applying neoprene cover with clean gauze continue to squeeze to get all puss out. This was prescribed to me from my doctor. Good Luck.
I am not a doctor but a medical assistant who spent 12 years of my career working for 3 infectious doctors. Squeezing a boil, otherwise known as a deep folliculitis, is a dangerous proposition. We had one patient who did just that and wound up spreading the bacteria through the blood stream. He first developed a heart valve infection that required valve replacement surgery. In the process, the bacteria moved to the brain and caused a brain abscess from which he nearly died.
Ingrown velus hairs can cause discomfort and look similar to a pimple. There is a chance you are wearing clothing that rubs and or is too tight which is why it's coming up sore. If you have poor hygiene it could be a pimple due to dirt in the waist band of your garment. If you have poor personal hygiene it could be that you need to exfoliate and bathe more regular.
This sounds like a boil. Boils are bumpy, red, pus-filled lumps around a hair follicle that are tender, warm, and very painful. They range from pea-sized to golf ball-sized. A yellow or white point at the center of the lump can be seen when the boil is ready to drain or discharge pus. Boils may appear on the buttocks or near the anus, the back, the neck, the stomach, the chest, the arms or legs, or even in the ear canal. A boil may clear up on its own without bursting, but more often it will need to open and drain. This will usually happen spontaneously within two weeks. Regular application of a warm moist compress, both before and after a boil opens, can help speed healing.
Take a sheet of Bounty paper towel and trifold it. Place the folded paper towel between the infected waist and the material you're wearing.
It is a boil which is a hair follicle that is clogged. You can treat it with a warm wash cloth compress to soften the clog. Repeat as necessary and the skin will reabsorb it.
