What Is The Peanut Shaped Lump On My Bikini Line?

I found a hard peanut shaped lump on my bikini area on the left side. There is no raised point and it doesn't seem like an ingrown hair. It feels tender to the touch and has a general red appearence. I have tried squeezing it and it hurts too much. Any thoughts?

Hi
Welcome to hcm
Don't squeez it. Mostly it is skin infection or hair follicle infection or rarely infection in lymph node. Any of the case you need antibiotics like Tablet Augmentin 625 mg twice a day for 5 days. Show it to a surgeon once to rule out abscess that is pus formation as it requires surgical drainage.
