So, there's ONE small bump on my perineum, maybe two. It gets really red and itchy at times and other times it just burns. The skin itself is very dry and almost cracking. This is NOT herpes, so all you idiots that thinks everything is herpes go away. I've only had one partner, my fiance, and its been happening on and off since I was 12 and first got my period. It doesn't seem to correlate with it now. I used to think it was from shaving, but now I don't know =/
Herpes or not :-) I think that it is probably that your hair follicles have gotten inflamed, or that it's even caused by some ingrown hair. And when it comes down to dry skin, well, shaving always does peel of the top layer of your skin so the more often you shave the more irritated the area gets. So, you will need someone to look at the bumps to see if they are possibly the ingrown hairs – that can be easily dealt with and as far as the dry skin is concerned, I think that you will need to start using some soothing cream after shaving to prevent this from happening again.
