A member asked:
A hair follicle hasn't grown from this red bump/scar for months. what could this be?

Folliculitis: It sounds like you have some inflammation of a hair follicle which is common in areas where hair grows and is common if the area has been shaved. I recommend warm soaks but if fever or an abscess develope then drainage and antibiotics may be necessary.
