Im a virgin and I have this pimple like
bump on private area. It itches and
hurts. Ive had 2 other ones before but
this one is towards the middle. I was
able to pop it and white puss and blood
came out. Any idea what it is?
Its driving me crazy

Sounds like an ingrown hair, do you shave
down there? A way to tell if its an
ingrown hair is if you take a good look
after popping it, and theres a little hair
right in the middle of the bump. If there
is, pluck it out, it will cause less
irritation.

Nope. No hair and I dont shave there.
Can it still be an ingrown hair? Or
something else?
Anywhere there are hair follicles, there
is the chance for ingrown hairs. If
left, they can become infected and turn
into sebaceous cysts. You can drain a
sebaceous cyst, but unless you have the
sac that holds the infection cut out by a
physician (in the office normally), it
will keep coming back. Get a wash rag
and hold it under hot water. Wring it
out and hold it on top of the bump(s).
This will bring the exudate to the top.
This will make it easier to drain.
