Brief Answer: Its a bacterial boil. Nothing to worry. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. From the picture that you have posted it seems that you have a boil there due to bacterial infection. It occurs while shaving your pubic and anal area. Nothing to worry. Apply neosporin antibacterial cream and take an oral antibiotic like Doxycycline and metronidazole. Avoid touching the area too much and skip sex for two weeks. Keep the area clean and dry. Do not wear panties as the cloth will rub the area and cause pain. But if you absolutely need to wear one then use cotton panties only. Feel free to consult me directly http://bit.ly/drsombiswas Regards Dr. Som Biswas M.D. Mumbai

Brief Answer: You do not need to go to a doctor. Detailed Answer: Dear XXXX Sometimes they do go away on their own if you keep the area clean and dry. You do not necessarily need an oral antibiotic. If you can apply an antibiotic cream (which i think is available without a prescription) that will be sufficient. Even without that it mostly goes away. Its just like a boil you get while shaving anywhere. They mostly go away on their own. But if you do not want to suffer for 5-6 days at least apply a cream. Regards
