This Just Scares Me Help Me Out?

Question

So I shaved my pubic area yesterday, and today I can see all the little bumps where the hair is growing back and on the right side some of the bumps look a little bigger and are kinda red.. and they go clear down and then theres just like one random big bump at the top of the inside of my leg about an inch and half from all the other bumps.. Is this razor bumps.. or burn.. should I be concerned?? Its only on the right side.. And the random one is kind of big.. I Am Sexually Active So It Kind Of Scares Me.. But It Wasnt There Until I Shaved... I Had s*x Last About A Month Ago.

Answer 1

If it wasnt there until you shaved, I would not worry about it. However, if it stays, get it looked at for sure.

Answer 2

It could be ingrown hairs. You may want to try very gently exfoliating the areas, especially as pubic hair is very curly, it easily gets trapped under the skin to form ingrown hairs.  

Answer 3

shaving is an art

prepare your skin well with lots of warm water

a good lubricant soap or hair conditioner

and a razorshap knife

the sharper the better

before you shave massage your pubic area well

because the red bumps are a sign of irritation of the skin

(you shaved too quickly, so prepare well the next time)

good luck

Answer 4

You have razor burn or ingrown hairs. That is normal when you shve that area. Ouch!

Answer 5

Razor burn.  Maybe some acne.  You should be fine, but always get tested to make sure.  Many STD's are asymptomatic.

Answer 6

At the bottom of your shaving the razor was probably getting dull.  You may have pulled one or more hairs out, instead of cutting it. Put some neosporian or some anti bacterial on it.  It will take a while for it to go away.  As an early 20's female downbelow shaver, if you keep shaving gradually less and less hair will grow back.  I have been grossed out now that I'm 60.  I didn't know this at the time I started.
