What Causes Sores In Hair Around Genital Area?

My husband had some little sores in the hair around his pubic area, and the doctor told him it was related to stress. Now I have them, too. I popped them and white pus came out followed by a lot of blood. No itching, pain, burning, etc. Nothing in my vagina. What could it be?

Hi,

Since you have a similar issue, its less likely to be stress. Stress is not contagious in spreading abscesses.

It can be bacterial infection can be STI. Make sure you get tested for STI, sending the PUS for culture sensitivity will help you diagnose the organism.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
