Painful Lump In Between The Leg And Pubic Region After Using Hair Removal Cream. Ingrown Hair?

I have a hard, slightly painful lump at the juncture of my leg and pubic region. It appeared a week after I used hair removal cream there. It has grown but unlike previous ones that popped (and pus/ blood came out) and went away, this one has been a couple weeks in the making. It is very uncomfortable when it rubs. Is it possibly an ingrown hair or something more nefarious?

Dermatologist 's  Response
hello and welcome to health care magic.
dear sir, madam, i think your problem lies in the hair strand that has penetrated your skin orr an ingrown hair.
the best treatment is always to visit a dermatologist or surgeon and get your doubts cleared.
treatment if done early helps you avoid future problems.
thank you.
