Brief Answer:
Need some details.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns.

I need some details before giving my opinion-
1.Do you have shaved your pubic hairs recently?
2.For how many days it is there?
3.Any relation to menses?
4.Any other symptoms other than pain?

At this area women get sometimes sebaceous cyst or folliculitis, infection at the base of a hair.

Nothing to worry about these.

I advise that you should take cold compress and local antibiotic lotion and wait for 1/2 days.It will resolve in few days.

Hope this answers your question.

If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
T-bact ointment, cold compression with ice.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I am sorry for late response.

Most probably it is folliculitis which is inflammation of hair follicles.

You need not to worry.

You can apply local antibiotics like t-bact ointment and cold compression by wrapping ice in cloth, apply over lump.

It will heal in2-3 days.

Consult your gynecologist if it persists or increases.

Hope it helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Thanks.
