I've shaved my pubic hair for years and I've had occasional bumps and ingrown hairs that went away in a few days. But one has turned into a big bump pretty much over night. I tried a hot compress and squeezing it. Puss is comming out of it. Does that happen with ingrown hairs? It hurts to squeeze it but I will if there is no other way. Please help me, it's so gross.

Pop it like a pimple and the hair will pop out. It's going to be harder to do than a pimple but push hard and do it fast.

As T minus said, locate the hair and pluck it with a pair of tweezers. Believe it or not, the core will come out with it, and it will be much easier to drain it and it will heal much quicker.
Shaving is not a good thing and this is why. It's just not worth the hassle every time you get an infection. Give it up for your own safety and comfort.

Your right it is gross but an ingrown hair is alot like a zit, but if you can take a clean needle or tweezers and pull the hair out. once the hair is gone from it, it will start clearing up.

If you can see the hair in it, pluck it out with tweezers. Make sure you sterilize them though. Put alcohol on the affected area as well. You may wanna keep working with the hot compress before you try to pluck.

Grab the tweezers and pluck that sucker. Then clean up the pimple and dab some Neosporin on it. It should heal right up, but until you get rid of the hair, it will stay infected.
