Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m a 22yr old female and have been developing what I believe is probably a cyst from an ingrown hair right on the bikini line by my right thigh. Normally when I get an ingrown hair it grows a little but then pops and the hair comes out. This one however had kept growing and is about half the size of a penny. Today I noticed it looks like it is turning a brown or purplish color. Should I be concerned? And how can I get rid of it?!?!
