What Is The Pimple Like Growth In My Pubic Area?
I have a pimple like growth thats been in my pubic area for a couple of weeks now, when I try to pop it it only bleeds a bit. No pain, very small, looks like a pimple. I've been tested for STD's 6 months ago and no sexual activity since. It doesn't look like an ingrown hair, because its painless and no distinct white head. Only a flesh colored, slightly lighter color. Could it be a wart?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A pimple like growth in the pubic area could be a boil or furunculosis.
However, boil or furunculosis are usually associated with redness, pain and pus discharge.
Absence of redness pain and pus formation rule out the possibility of oils or furunculosis.
Wart is the most probable cause of skin colored lesion.
Wart in pubic region are common and are caused by viral infections.
A clinical assessment and thus treatment is required to treat the condition.
Thanks and take care
