Suggest Treatment For Sebaceous Cysts In Pubic Area
Question: For years, since I was about 17..now I'm 27.. I've had what appears to be in-grown hairs right below my pubic bone in that area. They've stayed there this whole time. Sometimes they'll become infected and it basically looks and feels like a pimple. Once they pop they stop hurting and go back down to just little red dots but they never fully go away. After I shower I noticed they are a darker red and once I'm dried off for awhile they go back down to light-red pinkish color. What can I do to get this to away? Also I have them on my buttocks and lower back also. I just embarrassing because I don't want them to be confused with an STD when I start dating again. Thanks.Also there are little red dots that look similar on my thighs..been there for years since I was young. I've seen them fade temporarily at random times in my life but then they reappear shortly after

Hello
Thanks for the photographs.
These are sebaceous cysts.
Ingrown hair can be a cause for these.
These need to be removed surgically.
There is no medical cure for these.
Please meet a dermatologist and get these removed.
Don't shave your pubic region, instead you can trim the hair.
