<bot>: Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history and understood your concerns. A painful lump on mons' pubis in a 37-week pregnant patient can be due to either of the following:Boil or fur uncle. Fat necrosis. This can be confirmed by the following:Clinical evaluation, examination preferably by a General Surgeon. High resolution ultrasound can help the best to get a correct diagnosis which is important as the treatment is limited by virtue of pregnancy as many medicines can not be given or best avoided for the safety of unborn baby. Safe antibiotics are given if boil is present. Fat necrosis does not need any specific treatment.
