Hard Lump Under Skin In Pubic Area

[EllaBella07]

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.

These are most likely nothing more than calcium deposits, while they are annoying and can be embarrassing, they are not harmful in any way. A dermatologist can lance these and get the hardened calcium out. Sometimes they will go away on their own, sometimes they will remain there for years. Generally if you squeeze them you will be able to feel the mass moving or even breaking up but for the most part, once it is there it will return until it is taken care of by a professional.

I have the same thing in the same area!!!  I'm about to go to the Dr. because it's been there for over a month.  Let me know if you find anything out.  :(

This condition is lymphadenopathy. Those lumps under ur skin are your lymph nodes. they are found generally under your armpits and where the thigh meets ur groin.  If u have multiple tender , enlared, soft, smooth lymph nodes they are due to a bactiria or viral infection or you might have a urinal infection. If the lymph noids are hard and irregular go see a doctor as these syptoms are more sinnester.

I have been having the same problems, but not anymore. I simply avoided using strong soaps in that area.  I also refrained from using feminine powders which I believe helped a lot. Also, make certain you rinse well after cleansing, pat dry gently and do not bother the knot or bump. Simply leave it alone.   Avoid underwares with dyes in them or wearing rough material while the bump or knot is present.   I hope this information helped.  

Oh, I can't leave this out - Pray and ask God to heal the root cause of the problem, believe it is done no matter what and never take it back!

Everyone needs to read the 1st post because some of you are saying you have the same thing when really you don't. The first post says "It's not visible at all and can only be feIt by touch" and some of you are saying you have the same thing "It is about the size of a pea, appears red and swollen, but doesn't cause pain" I'm sorry but THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING!!!!!!! and all you are doing is making it more difficult for people to answer the med help member's question!! Please Read more carefully before you post to someone else's question!!! TY
