It looks like it could possibly be an ingrown hair? I had a really
Painful one in my groin when I was pregnant and I put a little dot of tea tree oil on it the sort of bring it up and it went away within a couple of days. Hot compresses also help. If you don’t think it’s an ingrown, it’s worth speaking to the gp. Maybe you need something to put on it. Hope this helps x
thankyou x

Is this the first time you’ve had this or have you had it before in any of the following areas: groin, armpit, between breast or under or other creases if so I think know what it is

It's hard to tell from this pic but it looks like a cluster of herpes blisters to me. I'd get it checked out as if so you may need treatment

It's an ingrown hair I can promise you. I get it alot, since I've stopped shaving I haven't had it. Try not to be tempted to squeeze it until it's really big as it just agrivates it, it will normally pop on its own. Try a cotton pad dipped in hot water and salt and cream like Germerline etc xx
I think I had it same place the last time I was pregnant
I don’t think it’s herpes at all as I has simlar with my last pregnancy in the same area and it wasn’t herpes
thankyou

I get this in the exact same place once in a blue moon, normally I would sit in the bath and mess with it and eventually it bursts because the skin goes soft in the bath so its easier, it’s always painful when they come but once it pops it’s instant relief, mine always used to get so itchy the bigger it got😩

It could possibly be hidradenitis suppurativa. I would contact your GP or midwife and see what help/advice they suggest to you. And don’t be embarrassed or shy about it sweet girl❤️ sending you all my best x
