Seen A Pin Sized Hole Under The Abs, Pubic Region. Painful When Pushed. Purple Bruise In Color. Recommendations?
My girlfriend has a pin sized hole just under her abs and above her pubic region. She has had it for about 2 weeks. She said it hurts her if she pushes on it but not if she gently puts a finger over it. The area is purple bruise color. I haven't found anything online, article or picture that could tell me what it is. Any ideas?

Hi Thanks for using HCM.
The explaination suggest infection to hair follicle or to sebacious gland.
If there is pus generation then that is required to be drained. Or else can apply topical antibiotic. Wash the area with soap water and keep it dry. Dont handle it. If your problem doen not subside then get examined by the dermatologist and get treated. Hope I answered your question. Wish you good health. Take care.
