Good morning, ma'am,

Would it be possible to know since when you noticed this?

Is it due to a wound, shaving or other?

Since its appearance, what have you tried or applied?

Has the lesion grown since its appearance?

Hello,

i shaved on January 6-7 and it came out this Wednesday, yes it has grown and it was very painful, I take advils for the pain which helps, today it is less painful but still I have to take advils. I put an ice pack when I go to bed and I try to clean it well when I shower.

Thanks for the information!

You did well with the hygiene (clear water and mild soap). If the skin is open, I recommend covering it with a bandage to be changed once a day (or more if it becomes soiled).

You should continue to notice an improvement in pain, swelling and redness every day.

If this is not the case, you will have to consult a doctor so as not to delay the management of the problem.

I hope I've been of some help to you, and I'm available if you have any other questions!
