A member asked:
I have a red swollen lump on my pubic area. it started small but i kept touching it, so it grew bigger. now it's about half an inch. what to do?

Moist heat: These are often small abscesses that involve the base of a hair follicle. Moist heat applied over time can sometimes bring the process to the skin surface where it can drain/self heal. If it begins to interfere with your activities you can check with your doc who could drain it for you or provide extra treatment.
