Hi,
This is a common problem, and likely started from an ingrown hair. However, when you popped the cyst, you broke the skin - which allows bacteria from the skin to enter the irritated area. Now you likely have a secondary infection causing a small abscess.
You need to see your doctor. He will give you a little lidocaine to numb the area and then drain the site for you. He'll send the fluid for culture, and start you on oral antibiotics.
If you just let this go, the infection could get much worse and lead to complications, so don't hesitate.
In the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area to get more blood there (which has infection fighting cells).
If you shave your pubic area at all, you may want to reconsider because this is often the cause.
Good luck and please click ACCEPT if this information was helpful. Thanks.
