Hard Lump With Puss Under The Skin Of Mons Pubis. Not Sexually Active. Advice
A week ago I noticed a hard lump appear under the skin of my mons pubis. I thought it would go again so I left it alone. The last few days I have noticed there now seems to be puss formed under it. I think it has gotten a little bigger. Please help. This has never happened before. I have not been sexually active in over 2 years.

Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic. Thank you for your querry.
It seems like to be simple foliculitis so you dont have to worry. It isnt STD,it is infection of hair follicule. It usually pass spontaaneously but sometimes local or systemic antibiotic treatment is neccessary so ask oyur GP for these medicines.
The most important thing is to keep this area clean and dry. and not to scratch this or squeeze,it can become only worse. WIsh you good health.
