Could this be nothing but a mere ingrown hair? This spot came up suddenly. No pain.

Is it necessary to see my gyno?

      After popping it, it bled quite a bit. I put pressure on it and observed it the next day. The next day it look like it filled up with blood again because it was back to its original state. Has not gotten bigger or anything, but I just want my mind to be at ease. I am seeing the doc on Wed. I'll update you guys on what the doctor says.

      Saw my gyno today. He reassured me that it was not a cancer spot, not a wart, not an STD. He called it a pimple. He took care of it by puncturing it and drained the blood. Then put some antibiotic cream and a bandaid.

      I was a little embarrassed to have wasted his time for a pimple, but he is an understanding doctor. My mind is at ease now.
