I have a small pimple on my scrotum. I popped it a few days ago & white puss came out, I figured it would have been gone by now, but its a little bigger and squeezed more white puss out. Ingrown hair? Sign of STD? No other sore or symptom?

Im 5 weeks pregnant with a bad ingrown hair in my bikini area. I popped the pimple to remove the follicle and left a small wound. I sprayed it with disinfecting alcohol spray (rubbing alcohol)... but now Im worried the alcohol went into my blood?
