Bump On Pubic Area, No Pain, Hardness. Need For Doctor?

Hello, I'm a 19 year old female that has not been sexually active also rarely shave my pubic area ( I've only done this once as I can remember years ago). I have this flesh coloured bump on the pubic area closer to my thigh. It doesn't hurt (it was a day ago), and it's hard and feels like there is something hard inside. I've had this before in many different places on my pubic area. I thought maybe it was a ingrown hair ( i am afrcan american so I know that I am more likely to get them) and tweezed away the hair covering the bump but I didn't find anything there? should i go to my doctor?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having enlarge lymph node in the groin.
It appears when there is infection in your surrounding area.
It might be ingrown hair follicle infection as well.
nothing to worry, if size increases or it becomes painful, then go for oneantibiotic medicine course and you will be alright.
Keep local part clean, well shaved and airy.
Ok and take care.
