What Causes Purple Discoloration At The Base Of The Skin Near Abdomen?

Possibly infected ingrown hair... I was wondering if my ingrown hair could be serious if the skin is exposed and it bleeds, not so much puss, but some does come out. It's purplish at the base of the exposed skin and all around it is tender and pinkish/redish. I can also feel hardness underneath the whole area and it feels if I really squeeze it hard enough, (which will be painful to do), it might squirt a lot of secretions? I had shaved my lower abdomen area and thats where it is, is it serious or can I get antibiotics to help it?

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concern. You are right, antibiotics like azithal will help you with dressing of the affected area along with local application of antiseptics like betadine..
