Question

I think I have an ingrown hair on my pubic area but it has created a small dark spot and is thick like a gall, what should I do? Hello, no I don't think so, I have shown it to beauticians and nurse friends and they all said it looked like a mole. But I have a doubt. It has not grown but sometimes I have the impression that it has a "gall" that falls off

Hello ma'am, is this the result of shaving? Has the swelling increased? Thanks for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hadn't seen the notification! According to the description of the situation, it is difficult to assess such an injury on this platform. I only invite you to monitor the situation. If there are no other symptoms such as pain or itching, if the lesion is not growing, just continue to monitor, taking care to avoid scratching it or trying to avoid it. If the situation changes, I recommend seeing a doctor to properly assess it. If it is an ingrown hair, applying warm compresses can help soften the skin and make the hair come out, which will eventually take care of itself. Otherwise, if the above-mentioned symptoms occur, you should consult a doctor. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
