Sounds like it could be a boil forming.

im guessing its an ingrown pubic hair, put a good lotion or vaseline on it every day and see if you can see any hair in it. do you shave? if so dont for a week or so untill all your hair grows out and if you have any still growing under the skin scratch at them untill they come up and wait a few more days then scratch at the purple spot, if nothing comes up go to your doctor or school nurse and they can help with out telling your parents if your young and dont want them to know. you could have a blood blister also. have you gottan it pinched in anything lately? you can ask for a female doctor if you go to the hospital. male doctors see that kinna thing every day so they think nothing of it just try to find the cause, good luck! if its an ingrown hair you can use tweezers to get it out and then keep your pubic area moisturized with vaseline(works best) or lotion.

It may be anything else. You should consult a doctor immediately.

I think you might mean keloid.  Keloid is a type of scarring that effects only some people.  it is usually quite raised, red, and probably sore if associated with acne.\n\nIt could also be a boil.  Very large, nasty abscess type sore.

If you're worried, obey your instincts and see a doctor.  \nIt could take longer than 3 weeks for a percussive bump to heal under the skin.

its a clogged sweat gland\nIts starting to hurt because of pressure building up from inside the gland\napply warm wet compresses to the site for a few hours- do it again tomorrow when you have the time\nDo NOT wear antiperspirant until the bump has disappeared

Have it checked out.  Could be a benign tumor called lipoma.  It is just a fatty tumor and can be easily removed.

little red bumps are little ingrown hairs.\ndont shave against the growth anywhere - armpits are the most common wrong way shave - shave up, not down.\nYou can get ingrown hair removing lotion that may help.

maybe a cyst.  does it look like a red, swollen pimple?  stick it with a pin and see if pus comes out.  If it does, it's a cyst and you need to see a doctor to get it out.

it could be a cyst, it's sort of like a huge zit. may have been caused by an infected hair. cyst usually form on butts behind ears or armpits. It will hurt pretty bad until it shrinks or pops- if yours has a head- it may be ready to drain. put hot compresses on it and after about 15 minutes it should drain.

That's Keratosis pilaris, a skin condition commonly seen on the upper arms, buttocks and thighs. The skin cells that normally flake off as a fine dust from the skin form plugs in the hair follicles. These appear as small pimples that have a dry ''sandpaper'' feeling. They are usually white but sometimes rather red. They usually don't itch or hurt.

It sounds like a slipped disk. You need to tell your Doctor. He will probably get an MRI to check it out.

It could be scoliosis, or it could be your back is out or a few other things.  You need to see a physician for a diagnosis.

No. Go to see your doctor, it could be something simple like haemorroids or something more serious. Don't put it off go as soon as you can to the doctor
