White bump in pubic region - what could it be?
Hi everyone, a half year ago after shaving my pubic hair I've noticed a small bump which was not red or anything, but of whitish/skin color. I thought it was a folliculitis so I didn't think too much about it because I am not sexually active.
Since the bump didn't go away for some time, I started getting worried and I noticed how I don't feel the bump at all when I touch it, just like you can't feel a scar, so I picked it and removed the top layer of it and it didn't bleed at all (and there was no pus coming out of it). It only produced some clear fluid (and not much of it) which would eventually become crusty top layer of the wound.
I didn't want to touch it anymore and I left it to heal, and now that the bump has healed, it looks like this: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img921/7803/NFZN2Y.jpg .As you can see there is some hair growing from it, but I can't figure out what it is.
What do you think this could be?
Thanks a lot for your help!!

Maybe molluscum but I would lean towards a possible wart? Try either some diluted Tee Tree Oil for a week or Apple Cider Vinegar (with "the mother") for the same amount of time. If you really want to get it go with Zinc Sulfate for 3 days (3-4 times a day). There are cites and studies on all these so give'm a Google.
