Question 1

my boyfriend is experiencing  painless white bumps, pubic area (looks like pimples); warm water aggravates it. 2 months. hydrocortisone cream?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Hydrocortisone cream can help decrease itching and minor inflammation's redness or bumpiness. One's primary care doctor may need to examine the rash to see if there is yeast (fungus) overgrowth, or bacterial overgrowth, on the skin or at the hair follicles. If one does not shave that area, it should not be an ingrown hairs problem.

Question 2

white bumps and swelling in pubic area, should i pop or leave alone, swelling above and on sides of penis also?

Accepted Answer

: IF YOU ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE THAN SWELLING IS A SIGN OF AN STD. WHITE BUMPS IS POSSIBLE BACTERIA INFECTION. EITHER WAY SEE A DOCTOR ASAP FOR TREATMENT.

Question 3

what can i do to help the bumps in my pubic area go away?

Accepted Answer

Stop shaving, 4 now: Razor-bumps result from shaving/cutting the hair too short, thus causing the hair to get stuck under the skin causing the bumps. Basically these are trapped hair follicles. Use of some exfoliating skin lotion/cream may help the trapped hair to come through to surface and thus resolve the bumps. So, stop shaving too closely will reduce this. Laser/electrolysis is expensive, but no bumps! good luck.

Question 4

i am a teen and i have a bump on my pubic area. it has gotten big but i can't feel it. help?

Accepted Answer

See your physician: You should make an appointment to see your primary care provider or dermatologist so that the lesion can be adequately evaluated.

Question 5

i have bumps on my pubic area that have like little indents in the center of the bump, what is it?

Accepted Answer

Mollusum: contagiosum...possibly viral or sexually transmitted. Needs exam and definitive therapy

Question 6

bumps in my pubic area, they hurt when i press them and a lottle of white stuff comes out of it, they are pretty big. help please?

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis?: This is obviously some sort of bacterial infection in the skin, like folliculitis becoming boils, maybe due to staph or strep. This is a lot more common recently when many young people shave the pubic area. Since they are painful and large, you should see a doctor; you might need an antibiotic. In the meantime, no shaving for a while. Don&#x27;t worry about STDs, which don&#x27;t behave this way.

Question 7

i found a small bump on my pubic area a day ago it has gotten smaller and its soft and gushy like there is fluid in there i haven't shaved in a month?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: It may be a cyst or ingrown hair, but to be sure, a physician would have to examine you. This is especially important if there is surrounding redness, tenderness or pus drainage.

Question 8

i have a small, tiny bump beneath my pubic area, it has sat there for a month now and i'm not sure if it's gotten any bigger. it doesn't hurt, it's quite small in size and when i pinch it, it's kind of like disappears? but a few mins later its back?

Accepted Answer

: It could be an inclusion cyst or ingrown hair. Absence of associated redness&amp;tenderness indicate no inflammation/infection. However a physician or dermatologist would have to inspect it to make a diagnosis &amp; advise you.

Question 9

bump in pubic area close to my penis what could it be ?

Accepted Answer

: There are several possible cuases of skin bumps, both genital and non-genital -- far too many possibilities to even guess without physician exam. If you are sexually active, maybe a genital wart -- excpet that most GWs occur direclty on the genitals, not the pubic area. Most genital area skin problems are not STDs. See a doctor if you remain concerned.

Question 10

i have 3 bumps in my pubic area and i squeezed one and puss came out i'm scared do you know what it is?

Accepted Answer

Pubic bump: Probably infected hair follicle or follicular abscess, though without looking at it there are a couple of other things like herpes.  Probably time to call your doctor this week and have the area evaluated.
