Sore in the genital area

[Good Gosh]

I had a lump in the genital area. After a few days it oussed pus and blood. Then cleared up a week later a have another one.
Same deal hard at first still hard around the area now oussing pus and blood. Went to the doctor and was told it wasn't herpes but she doesn't know what cause it and thinks it may be infected glands. Anyone have any ideas? I have reach menopause.
Does that mater?

I have the same problem I think. Im 20 turning 21 soon and I recently found a bump that seemed to be a zit and when it was ready I squeezed it and i thought that was the end of that but then it grew a little larger and hard. If felt "full" but I every attempt at popping it a second time was not working so I left it alone hopeing  it would just go away on its own. It didnt hurt unless I messed with it or pressed on it. I finally got tired of it still being there so I squeezed it as hard as I could and it popped and pus oozed out along with some blood but mostly pus. I left it alone yet again and although no or little pus comes out now and then it still has yet to completely dissapear. I have no idea what to do but im getting to the point where Im just going to see what the doctor says because its really emarasing to have and im over it. But im glad to know im not the only one with the problem. If i find any more info on this topic i will let everyone know.

Sorry, i have to correct a few things Im on my phone. The doc said if It were herpies There would be a cluster of puss filled bumps not just one. But the bump Im refering to, It hurts when i walk not to the point i cant walk But Its uncomfortable.

I have been experiencing some of these as Well. I had a bump back on October of 2011, i freaked out n went to my doctor. She said She thinks that i scratch myself n It got infected after shaving, She tested me anyways an It was Nothing (herpies was negative) But i have just recently had sex w some1 (a friend) who i thought went n put a condom on, But found out rite after he didnt. I know i should've checked. Now i have a bump on the outside of my vagina, It hurts when i was, It feels like a hair is being pulled But i am also sore on my clitoral area which i think is from the infection n scratching. Theres no puss i also just went to the hospital n had them test me... Im waiting for results, I have a UTI which explaines a lot But this bump came after. My doc told me that if i were to have herpies There wouldnt be many togethere. Im lost n mad because i feel like There is more then one thing going on, n of all people he was a friend that i trusted. Any thoughts??

Hello after reading this forum im more relieved that this is not only a problem i have, its very embarrasing. As a woman i make sure to take care of my body, well i try to but these things makes me feel dirty and infected. Ive been getting these bumps lately and for me i noticed its usually when i shave my private area. If i dnt shave i itch all the time and if i do i get these ugly painful boils. I avoid having sex w/my boyfriend when this happens. And he gets really upset as im hiding something. One time i showed him and he was like, oh i had one of those before. Maybe it came from him or from shaving, either way i hate these things. Hot water and witch hazel is soothing for me. Thank you ladies for sharing and giving me sense of relief.

Everytime I switch from regular bath/shower gel to a 'moisturizing' bath/shower gel or soap, it leaves a film (of supposed moisturizers) on your skin which plugs up the pores and then I get ingrown hair in the genital area and soon a huge boil which is very painful as we all know. As soon as I go back to the 'non moisturizers' bath/shower gels and soaps, there are no more occurrences. It has become predictable to me now. Recently went to an all inclusive resort and was using a moisturizing soap and sure as heck now I have a huge painful boil on the genital lip. Trust, me that is one of the sure culprits in causing these boils.
