Sore won't heal

I had what I thought was an ingrown hair on my pubic area. It initially was swollen to a lump about the size of a grape then subsided.

It's not swollen now but keeps scabbing over and then bleeding/ pus in a cycle (sorry, not pleasant!). This has been going on since August and I've tried creams, antibiotics, loose clothes. I've not seen a doctor as am too embarrassed.

Has anyone had similar? I know I should probably see someone but my rationale is it's in an awkward place and being irritated by clothing. It's been quite a while now though.

Please, please see a doctor. I don't know what it is but honestly they'll have seen so many bits of people's bodies you have no need to be embarrassed.

What's complicated matters is that I'm in a new country and don't really know who I'm meant to see. I've a company health check in Feb so was going to wait for that.
