Vaginal boil bump
I noticed a slight boil bump in my pubic area. I popped it and a dead hair follicle along with a yellow pus came followed by some blood. Now the boil got swollen up... is it serious? What should be done?

This is most likely an infected hair follicle / ingrown hair (folliculitis → small boil)
• Popping it has caused more inflammation → swelling now
• Usually not serious, but needs proper care to prevent worsening
Next Steps
Do NOT squeeze again
Avoid shaving/waxing that area for now
Keep area clean & dry
Wear loose cotton underwear
Kindly consult with me via Practo for detailed evaluation and treatment

Please dont try to pop boils going forward in asterile settings.
It does not sound serious but needs immediate intervention.
