I am a 23 year old female. For the last couple years I have gotten little bumps a long my inner thigh/ bikini line. They are usually filled with a white pus and very small. About 4 days ago I felt one coming on but it never fully surfaced. It is deep under the skin. It about the size of a golf ball. If I touch it, it is hard and very swollen. Any ideas what it could be? How to get rid of it?
