Brief Answer:
Folliculitis or boil turned into cyst.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome again and thanks for sending details.


After analyzing the complete situation let the condition appears to be simple folliculitis or boil turned into cyst.

To tell you simply:It is an inflammation or infection of the hair root with oil gland at the genital area. As we know that our genital area have lot of coarse hair and this area is always been closed, so there is always a chance of infection of hair root at this area.

It can further be aggravated by heat and humidity with sweating over this area. It generally have a feeling of discomfort and then cause mild to moderate pain later. It generally begins as reddish area and then can enlarge later on to form a cyst kind of lesion.

For the betterment kindly follow the suggestion below:

- Keep your self away from hot and humid climate.

- Take two times bath.

- Wear cotton clothes and cotton undergarments to be changed two times a day. Do not wear any synthetic or tight garments.

- Do cold compression or warm water compresses according to the weather condition.

- Do not sit continuously for long hours.

For the improvement and stop the further recurrence of the problem you can wear some kind panties where the edges are not coming directly over it and there fore the factor of friction can be omitted.

For the betterment -the most important thing is “NO TOUCHING, PINCHING, POPPING OR SQUEEZING” the area by any means. I have written above instruction in bold letters so that you should not touch it for unnecessary examination.

In my patients I suggest them to apply topical “Mupirocin” cream in a very thin layer two times a day or preferably night time.

An additional pain killer tablet helps in reducing pain and inflammation thus the size also.

The problem will be alright in next couple of day. If at all you feel any severe pain or if the size is increasing or if there is any deep redness in the area then you may need medical attention where a simple course of antibiotics by mouth along with pain killers will resolve the problem.

I hope these information will help you. I will be glad to help you any further.

"Wish you good health"
