A member asked:

Can folliculitis bump last for more than a year? my gyno said to try to squeeze it out but nothing comes out. the bump has hairs growing out of it and it does not hurt but i am starting consider going for a second opinion on it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It would be prudent to get a second opinion to rule out a treatable condition. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
