Suggest Remedy For Pimple Like Itchy Sores On Mons Pubis Area
Hello,I have some very itchy, pimple like sores on my mons pubis. They always occur in the same spot. When I first got them I would just scratch until they became sores and scabbed over. Now I am paying close attention and notice they look like pimples. I can pop them just like a pimple. But the itching doesn t subside. Like I said, they always occur in the same spot, and I actually have a scar where the usually occur. I used to shave but because of this I have stopped shaving and have only trimmed. I have asked about them at the doctors and they suspect that it s ingrown hair. But I am not to sure. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hello,
I understand your concern for the pimple like itchy sores on mons pubis area.
After reading your query it appears to be either an ingrown hair or viral infection called as "molluscum contagiosum".
For the exact diagnosis it is quite important to see the area. You can upload a picture of the affected area so that I can analyze it best and guide you accordingly. Kindly send good resolution closeup image that can be magnified and analyzed.
For the time being period do not try to touch or pinch or scratch the area as can get infected and produce more eruptions.
I suggest my patients to apply an antibiotic cream such as mupirocin or gentamycin on the affected area.
