Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The small spot size red bump on the mons pubis might be due to a small red colored mole in the area. If there is no pain or there is no change in the size then there is nothing to worry. It is not related to any serious systemic pathology and does not need any treatment.
You only need to self monitor the lesion for any change in shape, size, color, irregular margins, ulceration, pain, etc. If any of these changes do appear it means it needs to be investigated and then removed under the guidance of your dermatologist.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
