Swollen Bump Filled With Puss In Pubic Area After Shaving. How Can It Be Treated?
I shaved approximately 2 weeks ago, and I have formed a pimple-like bump in my pubic area. The bump is swollen and when I popped it puss came out. What is this and can I treat it at home? I have not had Sexual Intercourse so there is no way it is an STD . When I shaved, I did so upwards in only one spot which is the same area the bump is at.
