View allI've had this pea-sized lump on my bikini line for almost two years now. It sometimes oozes pus, and while I've had similar ones before, they've never lasted this longusually just a week or so. This one feels hard and sometimes shrinks a lot, but then it puffs back up again. Should I be worried about it, and what could it possibly be?
It sounds like you may have a recurrent abscess in your bikini area. I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and applying it to the affected area twice a day after cleaning it with mild soap and water. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the lump does not improve or if you develop a fever, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and possible drainage of the abscess.

I'm a guy who sleeps with guys and I've been pretty active when it comes to oral and anal sex, sometimes without protection. I noticed I've got these round red rashes on my palms and feet that don't itch, and they've been around for like six months. I tried allergy meds, but they're not going away. Plus, I've started getting these molluscum contagiosum warts on my chest, elbow, and even my anal area. My serology test came back as weakly reactive for the RPRVDRL test. Could these be early signs of an STD? I'm thinking about trying Benzathine penicillin injections. Do you think it's safe, and are there any side effects I should worry about?
