Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent pimple in the pelvic area which occurs due to bacterial infection of hair follicles, hormonal changes, stress and when sebum get accumulated along with dead skin and bacteria in clogged pore of sebaceous gland. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to exfoliate your skin once a week to remove the dead skin. You should start with use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment during day time and at night you may use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel. You should take topical antibiotics as well. Wear loose clothes. If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic course clindamycin or isotretinoin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
