How To Treat A Puss Filled Spots In The Bikini Line Area?

Hi , I get continuous spots with white heads in my bikini line and now I've noticed them in my rear end as well. They are very red and hard at first and then eventually they get a white head on them that I can burst. Usually there is a bit of blood that comes out if them and then a yellowish puss. They do seem to appear just before my period. This has been happening for almost 4 years now. My gp thought it might be caused by in growing hairs but I don't shave down there ???

Hi,

I can understand your concern for puss filled spots in the bikini line area.

There can be a possibility of secondary infection in your case.

You should meet your treating doctor to get proper diagnosis. Do not try to even touch or pinch the area as can cause more aggravation of the problem and spread of the infection. This area is quite common to get infected very easily because of sweating and high bacterial proliferation.

For time being period you can apply antibiotic cream such as gentamycin or fucidin or mupirocin and take pain killer tablets such diclofenac or paracetamol.

Take care.
