Hard Lump Under Skin In Pubic Area

I have a hard, pea sized lump under the skin in my pubic area (less than 1/2 inch above clitoris and slightly to the left).  It's not visible at all and can only be felt by touch - I first noticed it about 1 1/2 months ago.  Went to my obgyn and she quickly told me it seems like an ingrown hair and I should put warm compresses on it.  She even said it looked like a white head was coming up.  Well, the compresses didn't work.  I never was able to see any kind of white head and to this day still don't after close inspection.  I honestly really don't think it's an ingrown hair, especially since I don't shave in that area.  The lump is still about the same size.  Also, I've experienced quite frequent itching in my pubic area for some time, even before the lump appeared.  Unfortunately I forgot to mention that to my doc.  So, now I am a little worried since when you search the net for these specific sympotms you either find very scary info on cancer or not much relevant info at all.  Has anyone out there experienced this or knows someone who has?  Most likely I will end up going back to the obgyn for a second opinion, but with one of the other docs.  Thanks in advance for any info you guys might be able to provide.

8.initially there was a lead pencil perched like mark on thigh,(about 4 weeks later)suddenly grew,then shrink,I scratched found hard shell inside.
9.now having itching on whole body.
send me what is it?:-
a.it could be a bacterial infection,now turning severe.

Sebaceous cyst. It will last for years. I have been using tea tree oil. That seems to help bring it to a head. Still a long process though.

First off,Like someone else mentioned not everybody here is descibing the same thing. Some talk about a red lump, some with a white head, some about something that feels like ingrown hair.
I think i have the same thing.It feels like a lump.althought not round. It is in the pubic area under the skin(not right under,,seems deeper).To the left and a little higher than the clitoris. It is not visible in any way and it can only be felt. It feels like it can be moved under the skin but maybe it's just the skin moving around i don't know. It doesn't hurt on it's own( although i think a couple of times after a period i felt an irritation). If i do try to squeeze it hard it kinda hurts. I have it for a long time(longer than i want to admit). It is still here and i'm freaking out lately. The logical thing to do is go to a doctor but i'm terrified that it's going to be something bad. I'm generaly terrified of the gynecologist and have been only once a few years back. I can't seem to find the courage to go. I have searched so many times and i can't say i have found something more relevant than this here. But there's hasn't been a satisfying answer. I can't stress enough how terrified i am. The last days i'm getting mini panick attacks and i'm crying...

Did you ever find out what the lump under the skin is? I'm a 25 year old woman with the same thing, and quite nervous about it. It's round, moveable and painless. Also have general vulval itching. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
