Red bump in my pubic hair, has been there for about 5 days. not sure what it is. no pain, no itching, have not had sex in over 6 months. what is it?

Folliculitis: Likely an infected hair follicle. If it is not bothering you or getting larger you probably don't need to do anything for it. If it is, you could try warm compresses for 15 minutes 4 times a day and see your doctor for an antibiotic.
