Ingrown hair or something more serious?

So, I noticed this little lump today in my bikini area—kind of feels like fatty tissue right under the skin? It’s like a little ball, and it really hurts when you touch it.
A friend mentioned it might just be an ingrown hair, but I honestly wasn't sure if a hair could actually cause something like that?! 🤷
I would be super grateful if anyone here could give me an idea of what this might be...
Admins, please don't be mad at me for posting this here! I just figured women would understand this best... plus, since it's in the bikini area, I thought it technically falls under the "women's health" subforum anyway...
thanks
Ugh, reading this feels like looking in a mirror. Don't worry too much. It sounds like an ingrown hair. I deal with them constantly. They hurt to touch, especially if you try to squeeze them, and everything can get red or look like a little bruise. In a few days, you'll probably see the hair under there, then you can grab a needle and some tweezers to pull it out. Usually, I end up with a little whitehead thing, or I just squeeze the gunk out. Don't stress, you'll be fine. Being a woman isn't easy.😁🙂
