Hello, I'm a 19 year old male from Florida, I am new and I have a question.

I'm not going to lie, I have a gut, yes a big stomach. Well a couple of days ago I started feeling a pain under my stomach so I go into the bathroom to check it out. Low and behold above my pubic region is a red bump, it's really red and sore. Fast forward to today, I try and apply some baby powder to the area hoping to reduce on some of the friction before I go to sleep.

Before I post the pictures, I'd like to say I eat junk food and drink soda so I have pimples throughout my body, I know it's a terrible lifestyle but I'm an agoraphobic and life really isn't so hot right now. :(

Ok, so here are the pictures... you may see a little bit of pubic hair but you would think it's armpit hair if I didn't tell you. You see no testicles/penis none of that, just the red bump itself. Please guys tell me what you think, I really need the help as I am worried it could be something other than a pimple.

Please don't pass this by, please help me!

Thank you


P.S. I'd like to also note I had the same thing dead center of my chest last month and it took a week to go away, it was so big my mom thought it was a tumor but I was certain it was a pimple... but when it comes to the pubic region I want to make sure. So help would be greatly appreciated!
 
From the photos it does look rather large. If it hurts, then my guess is that it's a boil and should come to a head fairly soon. If it doesn't hurt and it feels firm, then it's probably a cyst. I have had the "pleasure" of both.
The good news: boils eventually drain and go away by themself.
The bad news: cysts need to be removed by a doctor.
 
Thanks guys, everyone is telling me they're boils. (I have two)

I called my Doctor and he said I could come in or do it at home, so he told me what you guys are telling me. Warm compress till it comes to a head, but he said I should lance it. I read online where it says I shouldn't but if my Doctor of 19 years said lance it, I'm not sure what I should do. :dizzy:
