What Causes A Painful Lump With Pus Discharge Close To Pelvic Area?
I have a medium size lump with a hole in the middle that is draining what seems to be puss near my bikini line. Its very painful. I seemed to get a little relief once it drained on its own. But its still sore to the touch and if my panties rub against it. What is this??

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to folliculitis, which is an infection of the hair follicle. I suggest to clean the area with an antibacterial soap. I also suggest using an antibiotic cream for local application such as Neosporin cream. I recommend to use cotton loose underwear and avoid tight clothes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
