Hi Sun K. First thing is, stop squeezing it. It sounds exactly what I had. It is probably from an ingrown hair. Common in this area. The ingrown hair can become a boil, which is usually red, sore and contains pus. You don't want to squeeze it as the pus can get into the surrounding tissues and become terribly infected. When I had this it would kind of come and go, too. Finally it go so big and sore and inflammed I had to have in lanced at the ER, as I could barely walk or get dressed. It was bad engough to cause cellulitis too. I needed antibiotics because of the infection.
Don't use ice on it. First of all keep it well cleaned, use hot (not TOO hot). moist, compresses, which may bring the "boil" to a head where the pus will drain naturally.
If it doesn't drain on it's own or gets worse see your dr.
Hope you're feeling better soon, as I know how uncomfortable this is...especially in that area. Good Luck.
