What causes bump in genital area?
Patient: Hello, I noticed I ve have a relatively small sized flesh colored bump towards the very bottom of my general shaft. It s been there for about 4 months now and has not gone away. All i can remember when It appeared was that I had previously shaved there, I always shave my general area and keep it clean but have had ingrown hairs in that area before, however they just go away. I m scared this might be a wart but I do remember around the time I got it, I was not sexually active. I m wondering if It s a general wart or an ingrown hair infection and how I go about handling this. Doctor: HelloWelcome to Health care magic.I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having bumps in the genital area.This is because of inflammation of the hair follicles resulting in furuncle or because of enlargement of the lymph nodes secondary to infection in the area.This can be treated by the use of oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.Do consult your doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and prescription of drugs.Do write back to me for further questions.Wishing you a good health.Thank you
