A member asked:
I shave i usually get hair bumps but sometimes they turn to white or blacks heads but nt all the time but this time one left a crater shud i be scared?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Crater: If this area is near your genitals, it could represent an infection from HSV2 (herpes), syphilis or chancroid. In other areas, it may be a remnant from a brown recluse spider bite, or simply the result from inflammation after a hair follicle was blocked. Definitely have a doctor look at that.
