Pus Filled Ingrown Hair In The Pubic Area. Treatment?
I had what I thought was an ingrown hair in my pubic area. I could squeeze it and white stuff would come out but never a hair. Two weeks later I squeezed again and this large white hard rubbery mass the size of an eraser came out. When I touched it, it would not move. I even pulled on it and it would not come out. I finally had to use needle point tweeser to get it to disconnect. What could this be?
