I get these constantly (female). So, so many, in the worst places. Sometimes they're obviously ingrown hairs, in the upper pubic area, and then they can go lower and get on my labia, and then next to my vagina where the leg meets the pubic area. I haven't been able to find anyone else with my problem until now. I'm sexually active, but with a woman, and no, we don't scissor. It's so annoying... I got one just now, there was two hairs and I tweezed them both out, and I was then able to squeeze out a lot of pus and blood. Sometimes, they are too far under the skin for me to be able to squeeze them without a lot of difficulty. I think it is a type of acne, but it's very strange, and I don't get acne very badly anywhere else.
yeah, i get it sometimes as well, but i just pop them asap. a lot of puss comes out, and then some blood.. but it doesnt have anything to do with being sexually active though. i get it, and i'm still a virgin
I know how it feels trying to get rid of all your irritating acne. I tried a lot of the common stuff (clearasil, proactiv) anything my sister got her hands out etc...then I got sick of it. I decided to try not using topical creams and seeing how that would work. I picked up the definitive acne treatment guide, acne no more (reviewed here: ***edited by moderator*** web addresses not allowed ) and I havent looked back. Fixing my diet, changing some lifestyle attributes...I've finally gotten long lasting results towards perfect skin, and I know exactly how to avoid acne now. My skin was clear after just 2 weeks. It's so much better than fake creams.
Freezing the bumps, called cryotherapy or cryosurgery.
Scraping off the bumps, called curettage.
Putting a chemical on the bumps, like cantharidin or potassium hydrochloride.
Using medicines (liquids or creams), such as those used to treat warts.
Hope that helps any future people.
