What Causes Red And Sore Bump In Genital Area?

I have a hard bump by my bikini line that is sore and red. It doesn t look like an ingrown hair. It is the size of a marble. It started out being sore and now it is sore and itchy. Any ideas on what it might be? It isn t like a pimple with a head on it.

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

It seems to be a skin infection that may be due to many reasons. You need to apply 3 times a day, topical hydrocortisone/clotrimazole cream on the bump. It will soothe you. cream is available OTC.

Plus, take by mouth 1 tablet Claritin twice daily for 7 days. Consult back in a week.

Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to click on 'Ask me a question' directly from my profile. Have a wonderful time ahead.
