What Does A Large Dark Purple Bump On Pubic Area Indicate?

Hi, i have a fairly large dark purple almost black bump on my pubic area. I do shave so thought it might be an ingrown hair but I can t see anything coming out of it and I ve had it for about a month now, it s seems to of gotten a tad worse, the skin is loose so it s not hard to touch and I squeezed it slightly and dark blood came out, no puss at all. I thought this could be why it is purple and if it carries on squeezing it would go away cos it looks horrible :( but now the skin over the top is gone slightly in one place and I can see the purple inside? Please could you tell me what this is, I m 6 weeks pregnant it this could be a reason?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It may be cherry angioma. It is a benign and harmless condition. Do not squeeze the lesion. The lesion is characterised by proliferated capillaries. So, after squeezing, the blood may sprout. The lesion may be complicated by bacterial infection. So, leave the lesion as it is. If you are embarrassed,then it may be be removed by electrocautery under local anesthesia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ajeet Singh, General & Family Physician
