I AM CONCERNED ABOUT AN IMMOVEABLE LUMP ON MY PUBIC AREA.IT STARTED AS SMALL AS A PEA GRAIN BUT NOW IT IS HARD AND BIG AND NOT ROUND. I WAS THINKING IT IS A SEBACEOUS CYST BUT ONE DR. SAID IT COULD NOT BE AS IT DOES NOT HAVE AN OPENING AND IT IS NOT ROUND. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HI.
I do think it was a sebaceous cyst , which has gone into its complication of infection so lost the so-called characters.
You need a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines for a week.
If this settles well, great.
If not you may go for incision and drainage / deroofing / excision whatever is possible by the surgeon at that time.
