hi guys I'm having a big scare. long story short, I used my beard trimmers to trim down my pubic area to look nice and clean for my girlfriend. i do this about every 3 weeks or so.
4 days after sex, i developed a ball/cyst. it feels hard like a pebble. it started small but grew bigger as the days went by. By day 3 - 1/2, I had to go to the ER because it wasn't getting any better. it was growing and getting more painful. this was a single bump, and nothing was changing, just that it was getting bigger and more painful. the doctor told me she believes it's an ingrown hair but sent it out to the lab (viral culture). She asked that I continue to drain the pus and labeled this as an "abscess" in my paperwork.
what do you guys think? please let me know your thoughts. Freaking out so bad
looks like an abscess or infected hair follicle
it will settle down. I have had a few over the years
thanks for your response. Tests came back and showed that it is bacterial infection probably do to an ingrown hair. I am on antibiotics
It is a micro-abscess in the hair follicle. It can be opened wide with a needle or with a scalpel under local anesthesia. but pus can come out on its own. apply an antibiotic by mouth (azithromycin 500 mg or 1000 mg once
