Blackheads are usually a sign of clogged pores.
Whilst they're nothing to get overly worried about, I'd recommend using an exfoliant or a steam treatment to get rid of the unsightly mark.
Blackheads in the pubic area
Blackheads are more common on the face and back, but they certainly can affect the pubic area too.
The main cause of blackheads in this area is hair removal. If you shave or wax your pubic hair, the pores that your hair follicles grow out of can become exposed.
Your skin's natural oils then fill up this hole and cause a blockage. When this builds up and oxidizes, it can take on a black color - which is where the term blackhead comes from.
Blackheads don't pose any immediate threat to your health, although left untreated they could potentially become inflamed or infected.
The best way to get rid of a blackhead is to unclog your pores. Steam works really well, because it encourages pores to widen, making it easier to clear any blackheads out.
Exfoliant products are also a popular form of skin treatment that you may want to consider.
If your blackhead seems to be unusually persistent, then I'd recommend you seek medical attention.
