Please Help...I'm Kind Of Scared...

Hey Doc,
I'm a 15 year old female, and although i shouldn't be, i am sexually active.
But my problem is, i have a bump on my lower abdomen, just above my pubic area.
It seems to me like a risen, but its growing on the inside of me and it hurts really really bad, with a single touch.
Its about the size of a dime. And it even sticks out a little like a miniature belly button. This is not the first time I've had this problem, possibly the second, but it didn't hurt this bad and it went away shortly after i got it. But anyway, please tell me what you think this is...and how can i treat it? if you need more info please ask...thanx!!!!

I cannot confirm without examination but these bumps sound like boil or furuncle. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus.Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle.
Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean.Drainage of the boil is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head.Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription.If there are recurrent boils,then pls get your blood sugar levels estimated.
I hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
As soon as I saw your reply, I compressed my boil with a warm washcloth. The very next morning while in the shower I noticed it was turning into a head so I just left it alone. Not long after, it began gushing out with pus and blood. The pain started to ease some and the bump started to go down slowly...
I feel so much better because I thought it was a STD. So thank you so much for your advice....
My pleasure that you have been relieved.Best wishes.
Regards.
