Should I Be Concerned Of Having Red Hard Pimple Looking Spot In My Vaginal Area?

I have this red hard pimple looking spot in my vaginal area. It's red and very large compared to pimples I've seen. I don't know how long it's been there I've only just recently noticed it. I squeezed it and blood came out. It seemed to of shrank and became smaller and less hard after that. I'm a Virgin and sometimes after shaving I get red spots almost the same but never this large. And this time it's only one. Should I be concerned?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Thanks for your concern.

Could be a razor bump.

I usually advice my patients to take a week of oral antibiotics along with application of a topical antibacterial like mupirocin ointment.

Shaving with the grain, shaving after properly softening the hairs(shaving during a hot shower), using a shaving gel, replacing an old blade with a new one etc are a few measures you can take to avoid causing razor bumps in future

take care
regards
