Have noticed what looks like a boil (size of a 5p) on the front part of pubic area..i have not squeezed it as it just burst in the shower, lots and lots of pus has come out of it and now it wont stop bleeding, there is a massive deep hole in the middle of it, but is has been constantly bleeding now for a good few hours....my concern is will it heal ok and will it leave a horrible scar ? Unsure if its a hair follicle but never had anything like this before...is it worth seeing my GP ? Not sure what the difference is between a boil or absess...

Assuming you are female - this sounds like a Bartholin's cyst. Such cysts form in the exit of glands which provide lubrication during intercourse. They may be caused by using unnecessary so-called hygiene products. If this had not burst, it would have had to have been lanced under general anaesthetic, because it is so agonisingly painful.
It can leave a white scar, possibly with a lump underneath. However, if there is still a lump under the area which is now bleeding, you still may need treatment. You might try sitting in a bath of hottish water which might make the remaining stuff shift.
Leave a folded clean white handkerchief inside your undies - changing it as often as you need - and go to the doctor's as soon as you can. You may not die of it, but if you don't get treatment, it could get so painful you might wish you could die of it,
Been there, done that, read the book . . .
