<s>[INST] I have an ingrown pubic hair just below the shaft and it is swollen and infected. It also releases puss when it gets really swollen. I just started to use a hot compress with epsom salt and started applying fusidic acid cream 2%. Is there anything else I should or not be doing? This has been going on for a couple of days. [/INST] HelloThanks for query. Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have Staphylococcal infection of hair follicle developed on shaft of the penis. You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Definite along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Along with topical antibiotic ointment like Newsprint twice daily. Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily. Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely. It should get cured with this treatment. </s>
