Hello,

I think the lump is quite likely to be a large boil. The pubic hair area being a soft, fatty area can allow a boil to grow to quite a big size before it bursts. If it is hard to touch, the boil is probably quite deep inside the tissues. I doubt if you could cause it to rupture by any treatment at home. Even if it does rupture spontaneously at home, you will need to consult a doctor who can help in opening out the boil for complete drainage. A boil situated deep inside the skin is very difficult to drain.

Ideally, you need to take antibiotics to cause the boil to come to a point. You will need to take antibiotics even after it has ruptured anyway, since it has increased to such a large size .

Hot compresses would have caused a point to form if the lump had been somewhat superficial.

Please take Motrin tablets 500 mg twice daily after food . This will minimize the pain.

But I really think you need to see a doctor. I do not think a lump of this size can be managed at home.

I hope this helps.
