I have a bump just above where my pubic
hair grows that is red around the base but
has a brownish color. its been there for
months but I havent had any other problems
or symptoms. i dont think its possible
for me to have an std, but i thought i
should ask. I've looked at symptoms for
stds but none seem to last for this long.
do you have an idea of what it is or how i
can get rid of it?
According to the description you've
provided (brownish bump with surrounding
redness, under pubic area, persisting for
several months), it doesn’t sound like
you are describing some kind of STD... but
you could be experiencing an infection of
the skin. Without seeing the skin lesion
it is impossible to establish a correct
diagnosis. Therefore, you can visit your
primary health provider or a
dermatologist, if necessary for diagnosis,
treatment options, and follow up.
