What To Do For Lump On Mons Pubis Area?

Hi, I am a 22 year old female and I have a small pea sized lump on my mons pubis area. It is discoloured red/purple tinge and sore to touch. I have a similar one also but no discolouration but when squeezed puss has come out but not as sore to touch. They are a regular occurrence for me and often disappear for a time but always come back, sometimes in different parts of the mons pubis area. I do trim the hair and thought it was just an ingrown hair but the larger lump seems harder and larger than usual. Any thoughts on what it could be?

Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

As you are getting crops of recurrent such lesions, it has to be infective origin. I would advise you not to fidle with these of your own to avoid complications like a cellulitis/abscess formation in the area.If you are sexually active, and have more than one partner, then you might need few routine blood tests, like cbc,blood sugar, HbSAg, and HIV test, apart from a bacteriological examianation (gram stain and culture sensitivity) of the discharge from these lessions, before starting any appropriate antibiotic. However, I would advise you to get your self assessed by a gynaecologist for a proper management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
