How Can Pimples On The Mons Pubis Be Treated?
Hello I am a man and several weeks ago I shaved my pubic hair. A few days later I noticed a pea sized pimple in one spot, and a smaller one in another spot. They are not sore in any way. The largest one is a little red. I have nothing like this on my scrotum or penis. what could that be.

Hello and thanks for your question.
It's my first priority to help you.
Well as you describe,it sounds sebaceous cyst.
I would recommend some self care measures like
Do cool water sitz bath with betadine solution twice a day for 5-10 minutes.
And afterwards,apply OTC 1% hydrocortisone cream mixed with bacitracin ointment twice a day.
Clean the area with DIAL soap and use OTC Abzorb powder afterwards.
You should avoid frequent washing.
And keep the area dry and clean.
Wear loose fitted cotton clothes to prevent friction.
Take OTC Motrin and Claritin for few days.
Abstain from sexual activity for a while.
Avoid any scented soap,lotion on affected area.
Avoid shaving,trimming.
Hope this helps.
