Foul odor in my pimple

Asked Oct 29, 2008, 11:50 PM — 2 Answers
I've had this "pimple" on my private..not inside but on my mons pubis...sometimes it gets really big and swollen and when I press on it I get pus out of it and it smells really bad...I have told my doctor about about it and he says its folliculitis..I'm not sure if its that or if folliculitis has to smell bad. I also noticed small scars..like cigartte burns or something like it ....I got checked for every std and came out perfectly I have no idea what going on....ooohh and I've had this pimple for the longest time ...its been years now...

Your doctor is probably right. If I were you, I would have your doctor check it for staph infections, specifically MRSA, just to be on the safe side.
In the meantime get some baking soda and make a paste out of it, and make a sort of poultice out of it, using a hot rag to help take down the swelling.
Also, make sure it stays clean.
Good luck.

Check out Hidradenitis suppurativa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Then try some tea tree oil. It's available in health food stores. Use a qtip to dab on a drop on the "pimple" once or twice a day. If you find that it's too strong then you can dip the qtip in water first to dilute the tea tree oil.
