Hello dear
I understand your concern
Raised bump could be due to hair follicle infection, pressure/friction, mosquito bite.
Physical examination by primary health care physician will help in the diagnosis.
Doctor will give following advises:
Apply bacitracin ointment
Apply cetaphil ointment
Apply warm pad application
Maintain proper pelvic hygiene.
Other treatment will depend on specific cause
Hope this may help you
Contact HCM for further health query
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
