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.
I have the exact same issue described above - i really dont know what to think and im worrying (like anyone i supppose) about cancer ... ?
Basically -
- whole area is itchy (getting worse)
- bit smaller than a pea but only under the skin
- can be felt to touch, not particulary sore now i think of it
Anything at all would be helpful; thanks.

I am 16 years old and i have the same problem in the same area as you. Mine is twice the size of a pea and is growing. It is extremely hard and it hurts and inches. If you have gotten any information about it please do tell.
i have the same thing too like idk what it is i googled everything and i didnt test positive for a std or anything and i also shave to and it comes even when i dont shave does anyone know what it is yet
I've had something similar for two years -- small lump, no pain. Was initially told it was an enlarged lymph node. Most recently, a new doctor told me that it's a sebaceous cyst, and no cause for alarm.
i have the same issue! and it just popped! and like there is about a pea sized hole in the crease where my thigh and pubic area meat (where it was) that you can see straight through to the muscle...its kinda creepy. no hair has been growing there since it appeared (6 months ago) when it popped it was a bunch of watery yellowish white pus and cam eout of multiple pores
