Alright I don't exactly have much medical
background so I will try to explain this
as best I can. Several days ago I noticed
what resembled a pimple in my pelvic area,
it had the same general appearance of a
pimple and was slightly sore, the only
difference is that the base seemed
enlarged - maybe about the size of a pinky
nail and it was slightly hard. I am used
to ingrown hairs in this area, but I have
not shaved the area in several weeks, and
it doesn't really remind me of one. Well
the next day when I woke the object had
swollen, red exterrior filled with what
i'm assuming is puss(it was white). Only
it seemed to have a blackish looking
sustance at the tip. Upon closer
examinating I saw what I am asuming to be
a pore in the skin or maybe a hair
follicle around the center of the growth.
Although I did not attempt to squeeze the
interrior out of it, it did, seemingly
readily, so I continued and pushed the
remainder out. At this point it became
rather painful and bled a small amount. I
applied some local antistetic to dull the
main and went about my day. Since then
the object has all but disapeared. There
is still a slightly hard, disk, if you
will under the skin where it was located,
and now a tiny scab, the size of a
pinhead, where the hole was. There is no
pain and the 'disk' is still mildy red as
it continues to heal. Is this something I
should see a doctor about, or is nothing
more than a skin infection?

By the way you described it.. It seems to
me that you have an ingrown hair.. Which
will get infected and have puss.. And the
black that your seen might be the hair
coiled up inside of there.
I think you should check out this website
www.Hs-usa.Org
what you are describing sounds like
hidradenitis suppurativa.
This website will provide you with answers
if this is what you have.
Hope this helps.
