On Saturday I started with what I thought was ingrowing hairs. One on front of pubis mons and on at top of thigh. Bit random to have 2 at a time but anyway.
Pubis mons one started leaking last night but still has hard lump (isn't painful and still weeping)
Top of thigh one is red, angry and VERY sore, unless I've taken ibuprofen it's hell to walk/sit anything.
I'm now so so concerned about the thigh one. It looked like it was coming to a head last night and this morning so I left it to sit thinking by tonight I could tackle it but my clothes ripped the top off it earlier
It was sore and open but now it's growing in front of my eyes what looks like a black lump and I am so scared. I have health anxiety anyway and this is sending me.
I dont feel ill in myself and no symptoms of sepsis and I will be attempting to see the GP tomorrow but wondered if anyone had any insight that will (hopefully) put my mind at rest that it isn't serious and maybe knows what to do.
First pic is last night, 2nd is now.

Sporner Corner is the place for this. Ask @MNHQ to move it. Plenty will help there!

Dry now as has the dark thing growing but was slightly leaky earlier when the skin got caught on my clothes.

I'm running a hot bath now. Hopefully that helps 🙏 I'm so nervous

I don't think you should poke it as it looks a bit infected. Hot flannels on it may help.

Done suppose you have any magnesium sulphate?

Panickingnowhelp · 13/11/2024 22:20

No magnesium sulphate. I think the black coating was some kind of blood blister coz it came off in the bath. I've had a squeeze now and it was vile what came out. Its not fully out but it's sore so I'm going to leave it for now

Warm or hot flannel. Or Warmie type heat up beanbag. Salt water soak.

I had this exact problem for several years but then it just disappeared of its own accord.
