General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear welcome to HCM and thanks for choosing us.

I share your concerns and thanks for providing sexual contact history.

In my opinion it is an infected hair follicle as it is a common finding in the area you have mentioned. Or it can be infected sweat or sebum glands.

However whatever the infection, a short course of antibiotics (penicillin group), anti inflammatory will be enough for its cure. Since antibiotics are prescription medicines, you need to get it prescribed by your general practitioner. You will be fine in 3 to 5 days.

I hope my reply will help you. Please write to us for more questions. I wish you good health and rapid recovery. Kindly rate this reply. Thanks
