Q: ZIT LIKE BUMP IN PUBIC AREA
asked by: knoxx on October 6th, 2009

I was kind of concerned over a little zit like bump i got in my pubic area near my penis. actually its where the penis begins. its around where i have hair and there is a hair in it. i noticed it 3 days ago in the shower it was reddish and tender. i put some ointment on it and it isn't red anymore after that day. it actually went down a bit but its not fully gone. i can still see some difference in color from the rest of my skin but not by much. it doesnt itch or hurt. its not tender anymore. so over all it did get better since i started to put ointment on it. but im still concerned because i did have relations a few weeks back. mainly oral sex. i have had something like this in the past and even on the penis itself but it wa rare and a long time ago and i was tested during those times and was clean. i just want an opinion it maybe its an ingrown hair even though there is hair fully out of it. could it be a zit i work out and do sweat alot. i did shave down there about a month ago. im just stressing because it happened weeks after sexual contact.

It sounds as though it's an infected hair follicle. The subacious (sp) gland needs to be drained (popping it) or dried. Try the acne meds. It may take up to 14 days to fully clear.

small zit like bumps in pubic area/itchy inner thighs
ya i have something like this its a few very small non intching white bumps in my pubic area above my penis. it doesnt itch/hurt/ or burn at all they are just there.i popped one and it was like when you pop a zit but more solid.after i popped it, bleed a little then scabbed over and is going away now.the inside of my thighs are red and itchy also but there are no bumps, just dry irritated skin and i think that part may be because i wear tight jeans and skateboard alot so i sweat and the pants rub on my legs.the bumps in my pubic area are painless and seem to be going away,but i am worried because i did have sex with one person about 4 weeks ago and then oral sex with another person within the past 2 weeks Question Question Question
