Hi,

im looking for some advice please.

ive had this on my Mons Pubis for a long time now. In this area many years ago I had a bad cyst / boil from an ingrown hair. I am thinking this is a scar from it? its slightly raised, smooth but hard, and does not cause any pain but sometimes can be a little itchy and tender.

As you can see there is like a pierced hole which still hasn't healed after many years by the scar. its almost like its an open pore.

has anyone seen this before? imageimageimage

    This may be the same cyst but its built up under the skin,. It would be a good idea to show your doctor . The tenderness and itching may be infection but it would be useful to have a proper diagnosis.
