On my, is it called genitals? The front area, like where your pubic hair is. I have a, pimple looking thing on it, to my far left, almost at where my leg bends (bikini edge line?).
I've gotten a 'pimple' down there before once in a while, but it's like the same colour as my skin. No big, it goes away.
But this one has become pinkish red, and it hurts really badly, and it has a black dot in the middle (I thought it was an ingrown hair at first but now, I guess not).
I want to go to the doctor but...I'm not sure. Like I'm super nervous about letting him even look down there and I'm not sure if it's because of a normal reason or if it's just because he's a guy.
I am totally pro health and if my friend was in my situation, I'd absolutely agree on going to the doctors to get it checked. But for me, I'm not sure.
Maybe it's normal and someone has a name for it? Then I'd be embarrassed to go to the doctors for it, look at it, and it turns out that it's nothing! But what if it's serious or something like herpes (I'm not even involved sexually with anything =/) or turns into a large mole when I'm older?
The secretary for my doctor has to know what I'm going there for so I don't really want to tell her either because she's always gossiping and I don't want her to give me 'that look' when she sees me because she knows what I’m going in for.
Hopefully, it's not bad and someone here knows what it is, an idea, or even had it before, but thanks in advance for the advice. (link)

First of all, don't be embarrassed to go to the doctor. They have endured years and years of medical school and are completely professional. They have seen or heard all sorts of things and this won't phase them a bit. If you are still uncomfortable, so to a OBGYN specialist and make it a woman. You will find that they will answer any questions and are happy to help you out.
The "pimple" could be anything. If you are not sexually active, most likely is a mole. If it hurts it could be an actual pimple or a boil. A boil is a hard knot underneath the skin of pus. Sometimes they have dark circles at the head. People often get all sorts of bumps and pimples on their pubic regions, but everyone seems to be afraid to say anything because of embarrassment.
My advice is to make an appointment for a female OBGYN and get it looked at. Odds are it is nothing and it will ease your mind.
Hope that helps,
-Charlotte
