Ok I'm 13 years olds pubic area got really hairy and I am a young man so I decided to shave I did and it turn all red I have red bumps the look like pimples and little hairs that are really pointy and sharp and it itches like crazy and I don't know what to do it's been 2 days since and it hasn't even got any better and I don't want to tell my parents please help

Hi guest,

The red bumps are likely folliculitis.  Shaving irritated the hair follicles.  Try a warm water compress, just take a hot towel and lay it on your pubic area, to help the swelling/itch fade.

Yes, the hair will be pointy and sharp.  As it gets longer it will become less itchy.

Hang in there.

Well how long do you think it will take go away

A few days to a week. If they get infected they'll get big and you'll see pus. In that case you should see a doctor.
