What Causes Bump In Pubic Area?

Hello I just noticed I have a bump in my pubic area. It s about the size of a kidney bean. I haven t shaved lately. My boyfriend and I just started having sex again after months of no sex because we had a miscarriage and D&C. Do you know what this might be?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM. Bumps in pubic area are very common because of increased hair present in this region.It might be just a folliculitis that is infection of hair follicle.

It may also be a enlarged lymph node or blocked sebaceous gland present enormously in this area.

I would advice you to keep the area clean and give hot fomentation to the affected area as frequently as possible.Pain and swelling will come down.

If it doesn't get relieved,you need to see your treating doctor for physical examination.

Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you.
