Does Lump At Pubic Line Indicates Hernia?
I have a lump right at my pubic line that, at first glance and feel, reminded me of an ingrown hair. I pulled a hair out of the site, but no puss or infection came out. I tried to force some out, now the area is inflammed and painful. Is this a hernia?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having ingrown hair follicle infection and now got inflammation, swelling and cellilitis.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days.
Doubt for having inguinal hernia can be ruled out only after personal examination by your doctor.
Ok and take care.
