Weird Bumps That Pop With White Junk, Bleeds, Scabs And Fills Over Again. What Could This Bump Be?
I have a weird bump that pops like a pimple with white junk that comes out then I keep squeezing it and it bleeds then it scabs over and then it fills with junk again. I ve had ingrown hairs down there before and I m thinking this could be one but it s been I would say a month that I ve had this and I can t get it to go away. It does not hurt or anything so I m not too concerned but now that I ve had for a while now it s beginning to worry me. What could this bump be? And how can I get it to go away?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might have developed sebaceous cyst.
It is collection of epithelial debris under the skin.
a bacterial infections might have developed in it, so you are having pus like material.
Treatment is with antibiotics followed by surgical removal.
the choice of antibiotics should be best based on culture and sensitivity tests.
With this test exact causative agent could be found out.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
