ok so i have 3 small red bumps on the outside fold of my vagina.. i havent had sex in over 6 months. i shaved saturday and noticed the 3 small bumps sunday. i got kind of freaked out but left them alone all week and by friday i thought they looked a lot better. however, last night i was a little b***h itchy down there i think because my hair was growing out and was poking me and i also have sensitive skin and eczema. i know i shouldnt have.. but i itched them. now today the bumps are a little bit bigger and they dont hurt at all and really havent been bothering me today, the skin just looks puffy and irritated. i am just freaked out because i am a paranoid person and am always afraid of getting herpes or an std.
sorry meant to say little bit itchy lol
Its just ingroown hairs. Exfoliate everytime you bathe. Also, before you shave, soak in warm water for a few minutes. Never dry shave. An ingrown hair is where a hair gets cut off below the skin. It then continues to grow, but grows sideways. A bump forms over the ingrown hair. Most of the time they get pretty painful. If exfoliating doesn't make the hair come up you may need to take a needle and get the hair out yourself.
