confused and scared
Ok so, the other day I noticed I had a pimple around my vaginal area but in the outer area near my right leg, it popped and seemed fine, today I was looking down there and there is a black spot almost looking like a bruise, when I put pressure on it to see if it hurt, blood spurt out. The skin seemed thinner than usual. I have no clue what this could be and to be honest I'm scared.
when you pop a pimple on your legs or in your bikini area that can happen.
what happens is with a normal pimple its out in the open, it drys out after you pop it. But with ones in areas like inner thigh, vaginal/pubic area and even under arm, they are covered all day and in areas that are in creases and chafe all day, so sweat, and dirt get into them. the blood is completely normal, grab some tissue and pop it like a normal pimple, and keep it clean. it will go away. you can leave it but it might rub open during the day and can get on your clothes.

MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Hello,
It can be due to a boil or a cyst. Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
