Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can The Large Hair In The Clit Be An Ingrown Hair?
So a while ago I shaved, and I normally get razor burn most of the time that goes away a hour or so after. But I started realizing a larger bump. There is a center that is darker than the rest, and a ring of red around it, and both are completely hard. Its not on a bikini line or lips, the area above the clit. It s becoming swollen and very very painful and burns whenever I stand up or close my right leg to where my thigh touched it ( more located on right not center ) There is a larger hair in the center that I cannot tweeze because of the pain. Could this be a ingrown hair? I ve tried a hot compress, cold compress neither work. I m young and I really do not want to bring this up to my mother considering it could go away on its own. The area traveling near my hip has begun getting red and swell too. I have limited access to home remedies and would like to know common ways to reduce pain and swelling in this case? Thank you.
Very likely you have an infection due to the razor. The fact that the redness and the swelling are extending to the hip area shows that very likely the infection is spreading. In this case, oral antibiotics may be needed. You will need to see your doctor and get the proper prescription to treat bacterial skin infection.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards, Dr. Antoneta Zotaj General and Family Physician
