Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have cyst-like bumps on my inner thighs and pubic area. This has been happening on and off for about five years, but I have been too embarrassed to talk to a doctor.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I gather from your history that you have got cystic rashes over your pubic area every now and then. You have not mentioned any other symptoms associated with it, like any redness, itching, pain associated with them? Is there any discharge from the vagina or any discharge from the cysts? What color are they, pearly or white or red or boils like? There could be a number of reasons for the same first being infection if it is recurring. Infections again can be due to either bacterial, viral, etc. The common ones are boils due to staphylococcus aureus bacteria which can be because of your practicing wax for pubic hair removal, but these are painful and extrude pus with redness and inflammation.

  1. It could be a viral infection like HPV (human papillomavirus) which usually presents with warts that are painless and which may persist for long.
  2. It could be HSV (herpes simplex virus) which leads to small cysts formation, could be painful and itchy, and recurs every now and then.
  3. It could be a plain allergic reaction to some tight-fit undergarments of yours or any foreign body, which may lead to bumps formation and itching.

These are a few reasons for your cysts in the local area. But I could be more specific if I have further details and maybe a picture of the same.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
