Ingrown Hair Pimples Or Infected Razor Bumps Above Clit. Pus Came On Popping. What Is It?

I had what looked like ingrown hair pimples or infected razor bumps on the skin above my clit on the skin over my pubic bone (nothing on the inside of my skin). I popped them and everything was fine the next day a pretty big scaly scab kind of thing was in the same place with what looked like more pus. It is sore and I'm starting to worry there are 3 spots and one is large. Do you know what this is?

Hi!
welcome to HCM!
most common cause of such pustular eruptions in pubic area is bacterial infection,possibility of folliculitis that is Infection of the hair follicle of the adjacent skin is there.it presents as a pus filled bump (pustular eruption) on the skin.iIn most of the cases, the folliculitis usually is self-limiting but sometimes enlarges and ruptures, discharging the pus. Folliculitis is generally treated with topical antibiotics and antibacterial wash two or three times a day. sometimes may require oral antibiotics

Few other conditions may present with lesions that may appear like pus filled bumps like genital acne and certain cysts.
having such pustular lesions of the pubic area seem to be less likely but herpes,needs to be ruled out.
You must consult a gynaecologist if the lesion enlarges further.
Take care!
