Shaving might lead to cyst/folliculitis formation. It would not be a site for introduction of an STD. Like I said, see a dermatologist. EWH
Dr i just wanted to mention one more thing. You said that it may of been caused by shaving. Could shaving still be contributed to formation of a cyst if it appeared 10 days after I shaved? Also can it still be a cyst if the pimple is redder the the surrounding skin? Its not sensitive to touch anymore but it is still feels hard. Im staring to think that i may of gotten infected by an std in an area where a condom might not have covered me fully during sex. This pimple began to appear 3 days after my last sexual encounter.
No not always. They can persist for long periods of time. sometimes if they are troublesome a dermatologist will excise them. EWH
but do these cysts go away. And how long does it take to go away on average?
What you describe is most consistent with what dermatologist sometimes call a "simple cyst". These fit the description and are totally benign; shaving in the area may have contributed to its appearance.. Alternatively, you pay have an atypical case of molluscum, appearances aside or a wart. Each of the latter two possibilities is lower on my list of candidates that the cyst. My advice would be to seek the opinion of a dermatologist or experienced clinician, not because I think it is a problem but to satisfy your curiosity. It is almost certainly not something to worry about. EWH
