An Ingrown hair or should I be worried?


I shave my private area, and a few days ago I noticed this bump I thought was an ingrown hair. I squeezed it a bit, and white pus came out. Then today when I was in the shower it turned the color of a bruise. Against my better judgement I squeezed it and blood came out. Does that mean it was just an ingrown hair or something caused by shaving, and that it just needs to heal, or do I have something completely different?

just sounds like an ingrown hair, and when you squeezed it you irritated it just keep it clean, don't pick at it anymore and maybe put some neosporin on it..

Probably just an ingrown hair, when you squeezed it , it probably did bruise, it's sensitive down there you know. It will heal, but will probably take awhile.

Ingrown hairs can get pus in them... no worries at all thats normal with shaving. Try using a soothing creme or gel (like Bikini Zone) after you shave. It helps a lot.

Yeah that sucks.

Keep it clean, dry, and occasionally dab a bit of neosporin on it.

Next time you shave, use a really good new razor (like Venus or Intuition). Also applying a bit of anitperspirant after shaving will help keep the bumps away. It hurts at first, but works.

I get these all the time. It's just an ingrown hair from shaving.

I had the same problem. What it could be is a cyst caused by an infection due to an ingrown hair. Don't freak out. leave it alone put some neosporin on it and keep it clean and dry. It'll get better.
