###Human: I have a pink-colored patch on my bikini line which hurts on pressing. Please help. ###Assistant: Hello. I have read through your problem thoroughly and seen the pictures too (attachment removed to protect patient identity). To me, it looks like an inflammatory boil with some induration (thickening of the underlying skin) due to some skin infections. It is mostly a folliculitis, hair follicle infection in the skin. It will mostly go away in two to three days. You can take some analgesics for pain relief and use some antibiotic cream for local application to prevent it from getting infected. Just keep the area aerated and change your undergarments frequently. Avoid shaving the bikini like till it heals, or else it may get infected. 1) Tablet Combiflam (Paracetamol + Ibuprofen) SOS after food for pain relief (if too painful). 2) Sitz bath (a small tub of lukewarm water with some Betadine solution or a spoon of salt) three to four times a day for pain relief. 3) Clean the genital area gently after using the restroom and apply the antibiotic cream to the affected area only (Clindamycin gel or Soframycin cream-Framycetin). Change undergarments frequently. If the lesion becomes like a collection of pus, as of now does not seem to have formed pus, you can take oral antibiotics.
