Suggest Treatment For Lump In Mons Pubis Causing Pain And Swelling
My aunt has a giant lump on her mons pubis. It is very swollen, hard, and painful. it looks like it has a purple puncture point in the middle of it. She went to the emergency room and I think she has been mis-diagnosed. The think it is an infection and its been over 24 hours and it has become worse

hi.
based from your description, it could be folliculitis. this usually occurs after shaving or when a hair is accidentally pulled out and it gets infected. it could also be a cyst, or an inflammatory reaction which is starting to form an abscess. a consult with your gynecologist is best for clinical evaluation. medical and/or surgical (incision or excision and drainage) management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
