Inflamed ingrown hair
After masturbating I began to fiddle with an ingrown hair with my nail which I think led to me making an incision. Sooo the stuff got in it and now there's a lump where the ingrown hair was and it hurts -- not a lot, but enough to make me uncomfortable. If anyone knows a way to draw the pus out, please share your wisdom with me! I would like to avoid going to the doctors (I'm 15 and hate going by myself so I'd have to tell my mum) but if that's the better opition please let me know. Thank you :-)

It is probably a little infected hair follicle. Not that big of a deal and you can leave out the part of masturbation and fiddling with it and be see with your doc if you want. It may just clear up on its own if you leave it alone. But that is your call and as you are concerned, I guess it is best to get it checked out. Up to you if you want your mom to know. But if you get prescribed an antibiotic, doesn't your mom have to pay for that?
