| Thank you for your inquiry. This is very unlikely to go away by itself if you wait... while the diagnosis is very likely to be what you think it is, this needs to be confirmed by your doctor so that the proper treatment can be prescribed rather than guessed at. There are other types of infection in the same area which can present similarly, and the treatment for one will not work very well - if at all - on other problems, and sometimes may make them worse. Your doctor can also give you advice on what to wear to reduce the chances of the problem persisting or coming back after initial treatment. Hope this helps.
