Pimple on the genitals—for those who know what I mean
I’m wondering if it's possible to get a pimple on the inner labia caused by waxing as a reaction to the wax itself. About a month ago, I waxed my bikini area myself, getting quite close to that specific spot. After that, I tried using an epilator for the same area. While showering yesterday, I felt a small bump and checked it in the mirror; it was about 3mm. When I applied light pressure, a tiny bit of white pus came out. It has shrunk a little since then, but it still looks like an under-the-skin pimple. I can't squeeze anything else out of it now. It isn't painful, and the edges look normal rather than inflamed; the color matches the rest of the mucous membrane. I haven't had sexual intercourse, though I do masturbate occasionally through my clothes.
For the last three or four days, I've been showering twice a day. I should also mention that I wear thongs every single day and use daily liners. I recently switched my body wash, and I sometimes use scented toilet paper—once, I actually dealt with some itching because of scented toilet paper.
I have a boyfriend, and we will be becoming intimate very soon. I’m wondering if I should be worried about having something that I might accidentally pass on to him, even though we plan to use condoms.
Is there any reason to be concerned or to see a doctor? Or should I just wait a few days and see how the spot behaves?
Thanks in advance to everyone.
