What Causes Bump On Mons Pubis?

default
Posted on Fri, 26 Jun 2015
Question: I have a bump under the skin on my mons pubis. Almost where the fold of my leg is. I have had it almost 2 weeks. I did pop it and some bloody pus came out. The hard bump is still there but the skin on top is all soft and feels like extra skin. What could this be?

It appears like a hair follicle infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani.
From what you have written it appears to be a hair follicle infection. If there is still some pus coming apply topical antibiotic cream like Mupirocin twice daily. If there is pain use Non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen 400 mg twice daily. If there is pain warm compresses also help.
Don't wear tight undergarments. keep the area dry. Even after all the pus is gone, the bump takes about 2-3 weeks to vanish. The skin on the top feels soft either because there is still some pus or it is the new skin which has formed.
I advise you to take multivitamins daily and to have healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables daily to improve your immunity. This helps in the healing process.
I hope this helps. If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
