Hi, a few days ago, i popped what i thought was a deep under the skin ingrown hair on my vagina. I squeezed it really hard until i heard something pop underneath the skin. since then, that area is swollen and theres a lump.  Should i be concerned? How do i get rid of the swelling and lump? And what do u think it is that i popped, because Im almost certain now its not an ingrown hair??? Thanks!
Hi.based from your description, yes, it could be folliculitis. This usually occurs after shaving or when a hair is accidentally pulled out, and it gets infected. It could also be a cyst, or an inflammatory reaction which is starting to form an abscess. A consult with your gynecologist is best for clinical evaluation. Medical and/or surgical management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
