Ok, question for maybe a dermatologists, or someone serious. AnywaysEver since I went to tech school, I have gotten these little bumps in my crease in the inner thigh, maybe a little bit more on the anus, but very close to my genitals. Anyways, I only get like 2 at a time, but this time, i irritated it and it is huge. Like I cannot sit down without ffeling it, it is raised up a lot, and i can move it around, it is red and circular but very raised up. I am pregnant also, haave only had 1 sex partner-my husband, so I do not know what it is. But this is the first time it has been this swollen. Thanks for any help. Oh yea, and all the little immature people that are going to respond with some stupid answer or comment"GROW UP".

My first guess would be something like a sebaceous cyst, a benign, pus-filled sac, which is not a big deal, but you'd be a lot more comfortable if you got it removed. You need to see a dermatologist to get it properly diagnosed and removed.

I agree with what's been said above, but is could also be a boil. They commonly occur in between legs, around the buttocks, etc. They are raised, tender, warm, pink/red bumps. Sometimes they go away on their own. Also, treating them with warm, moist compresses can help bring them to a "head", allowing pus to drain out of them. Still, I'd recommend seeing a doctor, given that you're pregnant, just to make sure it isn't serious.

It sounds like you have colliculitis( a form of staph infection). It's caused from shaving. If you do shave, try not to until they have healed and gone away. Since your pregnant, it would be in yours and babies best interest to see a doc.Any form of staph could be serious under your condition. Here's a good site to go to for info:

Best of luck with your new baby!

OMG! I had the smae problem! This is the most correct answer....when you shave your bikini line the Razor is sharp! SO when you cut of hair its just grows bumps! you can get this stuff thats called Bikini Zone...right after u shave put it on so it wont let red bumps grow!

i had a similar stituation except on my ***. It got really huge. It turned out that it was a abscess (infected hair follicle). You need to see a doctor about that becuase if gets big enough you need to have it drained.

It might be an in-grown hair or an infected hair folicle. You should get it checked out by a dermatologist.

This sounds like it could be herpes. I would definitely take this one to a doctor for diagnosis. Although there is no cure for herpes, there are ways to keep it from flaring up!
