18/f.
I have what looks like a blister,bubble and all on my pubic mound kind of close to my leg. I only have sex with one man and haven't had sex with anyone else in a long time. I popped it stupidly out of curiosity and it had clear puss. I had a bladder infection recently and just started birth control.
What could this be?
Given the fact that you had a bladder infection it could be the result of the infection, a result of the medication or it could be herpes you picked up from oral sex with your boyfriend when he had a cold sore.
"Cold sores — also called fever blisters — are fluid-filled lesions caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 infection" (from Mayo Clinic website)

It's usually caused by sweat and debris getting trapped under the skin. Usually a doctor drains it, but it sounds like you already have. I'd advise you to see a doctor, as it's probably unsafe for you to pop by yourself. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
