Boil? Cyst? Ingrown Hair? Help!
Posted: 01-12-04 06:46am

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?

Hi

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.
