	I have a lump in between my vagina and anus. It is hard around the outsides and soft in the middle. Could it be an ingrown hair? How can you tell?

	Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Wed 23, Dec 2009 12:12am: Hi, This could be due to folliculitis, an ingrown hair or a boil. Folliculitis is inflammation of the hair follicle - it can occur during if hair get pulled out due to friction, tight clothing etc. Try not to squeeze it. You should be extremely careful about personal hygiene. Application of antiseptic washes may help prevent recurrences. A topical antibiotic cream, mupirocin (Bactroban®) applied twice daily for a week would help. If this persists, you would need to get a clinical examination done. Regards.
