What Causes Red Bump In Public Area?
Hi doctors I was wondering if you can help me out I have one little red bump in the pubic area and was wondering what it could be and am very worried. It is a pimple like bump right above the pubic area and doesn t hurt or itch or anything but it s definitely noticeable. If anyone could help me out with this it would be very helpful. Thanks

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the lesion seen may be folliculitis which is inflammation/infection of a hair follicle.
To confirm this, your doctor would need to examine you.
In some cases, they resolve on their own. If this does not occur then the application of a topical antibiotic and cleaning with a topical anti septic would be enough.
I hope this helps
