This all started about a year and a half ago. It was fine before this. I was shaving my pubic area and got a cut. thats normal. It bled, I got a piece of toilet paper and stopped it. But a few days later, it got infected and turned into this awful, painful bump. I kept putting band aids on it and washing it. It finally went away but there's been and bruise-like scar there sense. It comes back a lot. and not just in that spot. It'll come back in about three different spots every time. I wash the area every day, I wear clean underwear. Ive been to the doctor several times and they just give me antibiotics that dont work. Anti fungal cream and anti bacterial cream doesn't work. Nothing works. It just comes and goes and leaves a scar. I want it to be gone. Its painful and it's just gross. I have no idea what to do about it. Nothing works. Doctors hardly looks at it. How can I get this to go away either on my own or what kind of doctor should I go to? I'm sick of this because I don't think it's ever going to go away.

It could be swollen lymph nodes, but one cannot be sure. Whenever there's a regional infection, your lymph nodes may swell up. You also have them on your armpits and neck/jaw region. For example, if you get mononucleosis, your lymph nodes in your neck and jaw region may become swollen.
The next time this happens, ask the doctor why he or she thinks antibiotics or an antifungal cream will work when it has not worked at other times. Hell, it could be a recurring viral infection for all everyone knows!
You could also try to see if a dermatologist could look at it and see if this type of swelling looks familiar, although that's more of a long shot... and, for God's sakes, stop shaving your pubic area! That's gay, dude.

One thing I forgot to add was that you could try to get a referral for an immunologist or a urologist. You could ask to see if a biopsy or lab sample through fine needle aspiration (FNA) is possible in order to examine what it is or what is triggering the swelling.
