I am seeking help/information on what i believe is re-occuring folliculitis in the vaginal area (outside). I am not 20 years old. From i was 14 and started shaving, every now and then i would get a hard lump under the skin. After a few days, a softer,tender red lump would appear on the surface,only painful if pressed. A few days after that, it appears to rupture and red/pinkish fluid secretes from it. After a few days, it drys up and disappears, but the area is left dark,with not much hair growth. This has occured in different areas. I dont treat it as it usually goes away, except for one time it was really bad and i got an anti-fungal cream. I decided to stop shaving, but apparantly the same thing occurs. I now just trim with scissors.The area still remains dark. Any help/advice/diagnosis? Anyone has similar experiences?
