Brief Answer:
Sebecious cyst? Upload the pictures

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to diagnose without examination, kindly upload the photos for assessment and to provide you with specific advice.

You may be having sebaceous cyst. Sebaceous cyst gets formed because of blockage of sweat glands.

Since how long it has been there.?
Is there any redness or does it itch?
What is its consistency ? Is it hard or soft?

Presently I would suggest you to wash it with antiseptic soap and not to touch it. Wear loose fitting cotton underwear.
You can see general surgeon for examination and to confirm the diagnosis.

Hope this helps.
Take care

Brief Answer:
Might be foliculitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through your picture.
Based on that it looks like foliculitis.
I would suggest you to keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.
I would suggest you to avoid any sexual activity. You should be fine by week.
Hope this helps.
I'll be glad to help you with any further questions.
If you don't have any further query, kindly rate and close the query.
Take care.
