Question 3

how can i prevent large, painful bumps in genital area. i don't shave just use scissors to trim pubic hair. every month i get at least two bumps.

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis.: This is an example of folliculitis. There are a couple of ways to treat this--topicals such as topical antibiotics or topical corticosteroids. However, a more definitive treatment for this pesky condition would be to have laser hair removal. Even a couple of treatments would reduce the hair diameter enough to likely prevent these large painful foci of inflammation at the site of the hair follicle.

could i cure it myself? i have a small pus-filled bump on my genital area.. sometimes it swells up and is very painful and it is hard for me to move. i had a dr look at it and he told me it was an ingrown hair. i researched ingrown hairs and that is not

Accepted Answer

If : If the area is infected you will need antibiotics, and possibly a procedure called an I&D (incision and drainage). Otherwise, you could try warm compresses to the area three times a day, if it drains on its own, apply an antibacterial ointment to the area twice a day and monitor. If it does not improve see your doctor.
Good luck!

Question 5

i have white bumps near my genital area. they look like pimples but when i try to pop them they just don't. what might cause this?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: At your age (18) you may just be seeing the normal development of your genital area skin, especially if the bumps are on the penis or scrotum. Sebaceous and sweat glands become more prominent with sexual maturity and typically appear as white bumps, more easily visible if the skin is stretched. If in doubt, bring it up with your doctor next time you're in the office for routine care.
