What Causes Bump On The Pubic Area? Is It Folliculitis?
I have this bump on the right side of my pubic area and I was wondering is it folliculitis? I have had a bump like this before a few
months back also and it went away after a while. I assume it was folliculitis since the pubic region has hair and I usually get them
when I am sweating a lot from the tempreture.

Hi,welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Your condition can well be a folliculitis.It needs treatment with antibiotics and analgesics.I usually gives amoxicillin+cloxacillin to my patients(if not allergic to penicillin).If it does not come down in 2-3 days of tretment,may need incision and drainage.
To prevent recurrent attacks,keep good local hygiene-keep area clean and dry.Regular trimming is good(tuft of hair promotes moisture and bacterial colonization)
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
