Hi there,
About a week ago I got this itchy red bump that looks like a mosquito bite in my pubic area just about 2 inches above the penis. It itched like a mosquito bite as well but i know that's not what it is. About a week before it appeared I had an STD test done and it was neg, plus it is not a symptom of any of the anyway from what i know. In about 2 days after it appeared I applied some anti-itch cream on it and it stopped itching. What bothers me is that even though it doesnt itch anymore it's still there and doesn't seem to get any smaller. What could it be and what should I do with it? Also, please no "go see a doctor answer", apparantly if I had extra money in my pocket I wouldn't be here asking questions. Thanks in advance

I haven't groomed that area for about 3 weeks before that thing appeared. Do you think it could still be an ingrown hair?
HerBie (spelling) is a cool version but it's well known that blisters don't normally appear in that area and what i have is not even a blister.

Ingrown hair..hot compress. Could be a boil or cyst which is also normally harmless. Doesn't sound serious, stop worrying so much.

It appears to be an ingrown hair. Do you groom that area? Put a hot rag on it and maybe try to carefully squeese it like you would a pimple.
Best is to just let it surface

Ingrown hair. Put a hot washcloth on it and then pluck it.

Sounds like pubic lice. Pubic lice are small, six-legged creatures that invade the genital hair region and infest it with their eggs. These lice can also infest armpit hair and eyebrows, but they are drawn to the pubic region.
Alternative Names:Pediculosis - pubic lice; Lice - pubic; Crabs
Pubic lice are known scientifically as Phthirus pubis . Lice infestation is a common sexually-transmitted condition and is found mostly in adolescents. Transmission generally occurs during sexual activity, but it can occur through physical contact with contaminated objects such as toilet seats, sheets, and blankets. Some women have acquired it while trying on swimming suits at a store.
The presence of pubic lice is heralded by moderate to severe itching in the area covered by pubic hair. This itch is frequently worse at night. Because the crab louse requires human blood to survive, it buries its head inside a pubic hair follicle. It excretes a substance into the skin that causes the itching.
Sometimes the bite can cause an inflammatory skin reaction that is bluish gray in color. Although the lice do not cause a rash , the constant scratching and digging can cause the skin to become raw, and secondary infections may develop.
On close inspection, adult lice (1.2 mm in diameter) may be seen. A magnifying glass makes the lice more easily visible, and will show the small egg sacs or "nits" that are attached to the pubic hairs, usually at the base. In many cases, adult lice may only seen in the seams of clothing.
Although pubic lice appear to prefer the pubic area, they can also thrive on the eyelashes. In young children, pubic lice may be a cause of blepharitis (an eye infection) and their eyelashes should be examined with a high-powered magnifying glass for evidence of lice.
In addition to pubic lice, there is body lice ( Pediculus humanis corporis ) and head lice ( Pediculus humanis capitis ).
Risk factors include:
Being a sexually-active adolescent
Having multiple sexual partners
Having sexual contact with an infected person
Sharing bedding or clothing with an infected person
Treatment:
Pubic lice are best treated with a prescription wash such as Elimite or Kwell:
Thoroughly work the shampoo into the pubic hair and surrounding area for at least 5 minutes.
Rinse well.
Comb the pubic hair with a fine-tooth comb to remove eggs (nits). Applying vinegar to pubic hair before combing may help loosen nits, but the hair should be dry when applying the shampoo.
A single treatment is all that is usually needed. If another treatment is recommended, it should be done 4 days to 1 week later.
Over-the-counter medications for the treatment of lice include Rid and Nix.
At the time of treatment, wash all clothing and linens in hot water. Items that cannot be washed may be sprayed with a medicated spray or sealed (suffocated) in plastic bags and not used for 10 - 14 days. It is imperative for all intimate contacts to receive treatment at the same time.
People with pubic lice should be evaluated for other sexually-transmitted disease at the time of diagnosis.
Expectations (prognosis):
Adequate treatment, including environmental cleaning, should eradicate the lice.
All the best!
