the surface of the "scab" is smooth, and dead skin comes off of it if I mess with it sometimes. Sorry about the gross details, but I am just worried about what it might be. I'm currently not sexually active and I'm single.

It was probably just an ingrown pubic hair. Keep the area clean, and use antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. It should go away in a few days.

Basically it sounds like it's just a zit. Keep the area clean, but don't use anti-bacterial soap, and don't wash it more than once a day. Try to keep your hands off it. Should clear up in a few days. If it doesn't, you may need some anti-fungal cream, as fungus can easily take over an area where the skin is broken. You could use something like baby powder to keep the area drier, and wear clean cotton underwear until it clears up.

It sounds like a ingrown hair but it never hurts to get checked out. I really don't think you have anything to worry about. If you give your scab some room to heal I'm sure you'll be good as new. Good luck!!
