I am a 22 year old female and found a painful lump that looked like a giant pimple in the shower and it burst. It was just diagonal from my genital area, between my hip bone and my genitals. When I showed it to my mom she said it was an epidermoid cyst and that my dad gets them on his back. it was full of blood. it has a small opening now and I am worried about getting an infection. What should I do?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have sebaceous cyst or Desmond cyst.  It has a small opening and its diagnostic of sebaceous cyst.  Treatment of choice is complete surgical excision. Consult your doctor go for Surgery. Don't worry much about that.  It's just a minor procedure. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
