Q: It May Be a Bug Bite, I Honestly Don't Know. Help!

Don't really know how to start...So will just start from the beginning, but I do warn you, this could get really disgusting. And I would like to apologize in advance becuse i'm about to write alot, so I can understand if you get discouraged to read the whole thing or even reply, but please do.

My mom was born in barbados, and sometimes we go there for a week for vacationing and family. I usually get a few of bug bites there so any bump I find I just assume a bug got to. Well, a couple of years ago I noticed that I had this small bump on....The outside of my nether regions while in the shower. As usual, I thought nothing of it. But, months passed and I got skeptical, but since it didn't seem to really do anything, I didn't really care. I started to get into sports and stuff and one day I noticed that the lil bump had kinda grown alot and the skin over it was thin and a completely different color, alot lighter than my actual skin tone. I was still young, so like any other kid, the way to fix things was the seeze and push. When I did that, some yellow....Khaki liquid goo would shoot out. That still happens even today, only the color has changes slightly and its folloed by alot of blood. After that episode, the bump kinda goes down and resumes my natural skin tone.

A couple years after the first one showed up, a second one did to, same area, just flipped on the other side, so its like symmetrical to the other and does the same thing. Except this one seems to have healed over with its occasional inflammation.

The reason why I went through all of that is because now I want an answer, I need an answer. I need a name to call this thing because the first one I got seems to have gotten worse and I don't want that to be the future of the other.

If you push them, its feeling like there's a hard lump under the skin, and for the first one, the skin seems to be.....Suctioned in....From the inside if that makes any sense and its starting to smell really bad, but it doesn't look really bad. Its starting to scare me a little but because of the location, appearance and odor, I am too embarrased to really show anyone, or even mention it to another person face. I'm just assuming that meeting with a doc is really expensive and I just don't have that kind of money.

I'm sorry this was so long, but if you've ever heard of anything like this, please just say what you think it is, give me some advice or refer me to someone who might, or even encourage me to tell someone that can help with all the clinic, doctor, stuff (through a pm would be best).

Thank you
