I've got this lump on my pubic area that's really worrying me. It's painful, reddish, and there's pus and blood coming out. The top of the lump looks pretty red too. I'm not sure what it could be, and it's freaking me out a bit. Should I be concerned or see someone about it?

A painful, red, and swollen lump with pus and blood in the pubic area may indicate a sebaceous cyst, abscess, or infected ingrown hair; however, it's crucial to consult a doctor or dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, as it could also be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a Bartholin's cyst or hidradenitis suppurativa, and may require treatment with antibiotics, drainage, or minor surgery.

Keto B ointment, containing ketoconazole, can be used for scalp itching and fungal infections, but for hair gaps, it may not be directly effective; it's generally safe when used as directed, but potential side effects include skin irritation, itching, or dryness; consult a dermatologist before using Keto B ointment on your scalp, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
