Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter had what she thought was an ingrown hair or pimple on her inner thigh. She popped it and it was not just the white head, but a watery pus that came out with a little blood. The white tip is now gone, but it is red, hard and a little painful to touch.
It sounds like the pimple is developing into a full-fledged abscess. This is an infection in which a large amount of pus has collected within the skin. It can develop from an ingrown hair. It may come to a head again and drain on its own, but if it's large or more painful, it might be better to have it incised and drained by a doctor. That way it can be completely cleaned out and allowed to drain for a while so it doesn't come back. Hope this helps.
