ok so im getting these ingrown hair things under my belly....i dont know what they are they kinda look like ingrown hairs but it might be something else. im going to the doctor in a couple of days but i was curious in what it is. they are round ovalish like and hurt a little bit when i press on it. they are about the size of a dime but smaller. it seems if i get rid of one another comes out later. kinda gross. i 1st thought it was a pimple (one of the smaller ones) and i squished it and pimple like puss came out. i get one and then eventually goes away then i get another smaller one all under my belly, they leave pretty bad scars too...it concerns me bc i thought it might be syphillis but i really doubt it bc ive always used protections cept for one time when the condom broke but that was about a year ago with some girl i used to date and i bearly started getting this things about 1 month ago....any one knows what they are?

They could be ingrown hairs, folliculitis, sebaceous cysts or hidradenitis suppurativa. The doctor will probably give you antibiotics and probably a cream.

I have no idea but you should see a dr right away, they are definitely not ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs will only make a small bump like a small pimple, about the size of a pin head.
It is possible you could have become infected with demodectic mange. The demodex is a little creepy insect that takes up residence within the pores of your skin.

Sounds like heat bumps, when u shower , use Dial Antibacterial pump soap, foam them up good rinse with hot, then cold water.
The cold water should prevent them from comin back.
Use Aloe Vera Gel on them.
U dont need to see a Doc...be your own doc and use common sense.
