What Could Recurring, Bleeding Bump Near The Vagina Indicate?

A few days ago I found what was like a blood filled lump near my vagina where my pubic hair is. I left it alone because I red online that it may pop on its own. I did and a yesterday it was releasing discharge so I squeezed it and bright red blood came out, and lots of it! After that I cleaned it and left it to heal, I ve looked at it today and it seems to be filling up again with blood, what is this?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,
i can understand your concern.
r u sexually active???if yes, is there any chance of contracting an std??
most probably it seems like a folliculitis due to a bacterial infection, this might be due to faulty shaving technique or usage of a blunt razor.
i would suggest application of an antiseptic cream like betadine(povidone iodine )over the area . this would resolve the issue most of the times.
in case the problem persists an antibiotic like augmentin(amoxicillin+clavulanate) would be prescribed for five days.
keep the are clean and sterile. this would aid in healing.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM.
