I have one red pimple looking bump on my vagina after shaving. I'm worried because I'm
25 weeks pregnant, but me and my boyfriend haven't had sex in a few months. Could this be an STI without having sexual intercourse?

Look the first thing you need to do if you REALLY want help. Give more details. I get you're embarrassed. I really do. But if you want help, you need to be completely honest.

These bumps (I get them as well) can be shaving bumps. Chill. BUT you could also have Herpes SImplex 1. Before you freak out, understand that 49% of the population has this. It's called cold sores and are spread when you're kissing (or he/she's kissing) with an open sore.

You're probably saying, sure ok, but it's on my VAGINA/PENIS.

Does you're significant other have Herpes Simplex 1? Has he or she given you for lack of a better word oral? With an open sore?

As for you fifteen year olds, you have no business what so ever having sex. You're going to regret it a lot when you get older and finally meet that guy you really do love. The guy you're with now, you're fifteen. You don't love him. Yeah, I know you're like, 'You don't know what I feel!!' Yeah I do. I 'loved' when it was actually lusted after my high school boyfriend. I gave in, and have been regreting it ever since. Because I'm 19 and have finally met a guy I'm not actually lusting after. You'll know love when it hit's you. Trust me, it's too early to 'love'. Because you're going to look back in five years and tell yourself you were a ******* for thinking you loved him.

Now back to the convo at hand. My boyfriend, the one I spoke of earlier, has a case of Genital Warts (HPV). While we had protected sex, but remember this girls CONDOMS DO NOT PROTECT AGAINST EVERYTHING, THEY JUST LOWER THE CHANCES. We had VERY protecting sex. And he wasn't having an outbreak. But skin to skin contact non-the-less can cause the passing of the virus. He wore his undies and a condom, see, very protective. But this bump is scaring me.

If you want to know for sure, get off your *** in front of the computer and grab the phone to set up an appointment with a trusted doctor who knows what they are doing. And ask to get tested for everything! And make sure you ask to get tested. But this is not where it ends. After you get off the phone, do you're own research. Be more descriptive. If you need help, I'd be happy to help you do more research, just ask.

You can contact me at this email address, just leave you're questions.

I am addressing this to the ladies... Be careful, I was diagnosed with herpes 8years ago.. I went out to a bar, cheated on my boyfriend, and the guy either had it and didnt know or didnt care. the sex was horribly painful like pins and needles the whole time... The next day it only got worse. Everytime I peed I thought I was going to pass out. I had a fever and couldn't sleep. two days later I went to the doctor. Get it checked out, don't wait. Lysine definately is a cheaper valtrex that the doctors won't tell you about and you can get it at any vitamin store. Also peeing in a cup (which sounds gross, but works) or in a bathtub with baking soda really helps. My moms a nurse and thankfully knew what would work. The first time is definitely the worst.

I just noticed that I've been itchy and sensitive in that area. I looked and it looks like herpes but very itchy. It seems to be inflamed in a way. I'm very nervous of what this could be. I put cortaid itching cream and it seemed to help but I'm very nervous and scared!

so pretty much the same thing has just happened to me. i have been with my boyfriend about two1/2 months and we have had a ton of unprotected sex. we have never once used protection but have never had this problem until now. i didnt think nothing of it at first because i shaved 2 nights ago and i thought i might of cut my self or that it might just be irritated. i didnt have the red bumps yet but it just kind of hurt and stings when i touch it or pee sometimes. i had sex the night i shaved and the day after a few times and it was fine just kinda hurt a bit. but then last night i noticed one little red bump on the right lip of my vagina it didnt hurt when i touched it or any thing but now it spread and i have more red bumps and a white vaginal discharge. i thought it could be yeast infection at first but it doesnt itch really its just irritated and bugs the hell out of me. i have a doctors app. tomorrow but im just really scared and embarrassed. does it sound like herpies (herpes)?

I was reading all the comment below and found that most of you have a pimple type thing by your private area. I was in the same situations and come across this article. Most of you may have Genital Pimples.

What Are Genital Pimples?

Actually there exists no such thing as genital acne, it is in fact a condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa,. In this case, sweat glands around the genital skin get blocked causing infections. The infection comes out in small pimple like lesions.
The genital area of the body suffers more heat, sweat and bacteria growths than the other parts making it more vulnerable to skin infections.

Genital skin has more nerve endings than rest of your body skin.Excessive use of oil and lubricants can also cause pimples in your private part.

Usually you keep your genitals covered most of the time, which is another catalyst to pimples.Remember, that pimples can invade the genitals of any person, Man or woman, black or white, you are not immune to pubic pimples.

Causes Of Disgrace.

It is essential to know the causes of pubic pimples before entering the path of treatment. Generally there is not any single cause you can pinpoint. The causes vary but the usual causes are:

1.Harsh detergents, abrasive soaps and over washing.
2.Stress.
3.Unhealthy diet.
4.Poor maintenance of personal hygiene.
5.Hormonal changes in teenagers.
6.Diseases instigating hormonal changes.
7.Changes in hormones in case of women during menstruation and pregnancy.
8.If pimples occur after the intake of a particular drug switch off to an alternative.
9.Polluted and dirty environment also cause pimples.

hey guys ok so i noticed 2 days ago i had a tiny red dot on my skin just above my private part then yesterday theres this bump not small not huge! just a bump on the left part only a little inside the skin flap its dosent hurt dosent itch and reading comments people have said its common im 13 years old never ever had sex! no planning to anytime soon ! i saw comments saying that u just need to keep clean in that area not to wear undies when u go to bed so u can let it breath and when u go shower use a cloth and warm water to wash your vagina no soap because it can cause skin irritation and keep your hands clen alos to drink enough water and eat healthier so thanks to everyone comments im not freaking out thanks hope this helps any one else :)

To: All

I've had a similar problem to some of you and it went away. It is probably one of two things for some of you. A: It was razor bumps. B: It could possibly be Psoriasis. Psoriasis is a condition of the skin that are seen as a red rash or red bumps that can itch, flake, puss, or be sore. There is no cure, but there are treatments used to relieve the symptoms and lessen the flare ups that happen. I know it sounds funny, but I was researching Psoriasis cause I have scalp Psoriasis and wanted to know more. I found a website where it described different types and showed pictures. Talk to your doctor or Dermatoligist if you want to know more. I hope this gave some of you relief.

I'm so scared I haven't gotten any sleep because a few days after me and my bf had sex a bump showed up overnight on my vagina lip. It looks like a pimple but it wont pop. I have been under alot of stress because of college ending soon. Also I am discharging a little bit of fishy smelling liquid seeping out of my vagina. Another thing that I'm scared to death about is there is a spot if you look at the egde of your hip closest to your stomach go 2 inchs down and 1 inch towards your vagina there is a lump on the inside of my skin its hard and moves around a little. These bumps go away after about a month and they come back sometimes. I'm so scared please help me... email me please if anyone can help I'm scared to tell anyone... good_liven_al***@****

I'm 14 years old and I have had sex this past weekend, I took a shower and after we finished my vagina started feeling really itchy and it was burning, the next morning I had little white pimples near my vagina and close to where I pee from. There were 5 and 4 are close together, I popped them and now they are red bumps, I'm really scared. Someone please help me because explaining this to my mother makes me feel shameful and I don't want her to find out that her daughter is catching stuff at such a younge age. Help!

>.< I'm 15 and i've never had sex EVER or anything like that. Annnd I'm a very shy and coward person. When I was like 12 I remember shaving my vagina for the first time and ever since then there was been alot of bumps, they go away and then come back in different and the same spots over and over again. I'm afraid to tell anyone <.<" Can anyone help me. But I also dont have any money to buy any kind of ointment or something, is it gonna stay because I havent rlly done anything about it for so long. Today I shaved again because I wanted to take a good look at how bad it is and its pretty bad. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO!!!! I mostly just cry in the bathroom thinking about the worst.

I have the same problem but I haven't had any recent sexual activity. I'm still a virgin, and I have two red bumps on the lips of my vagina and they are parallel from each other. I didn't notice them until yesterday after shaving. I think it's just irritation from the razor because I get UTI's a lot, and I'm very sensative in that area. I put mono stat cream on it right away yesterday but they're
still there and they itch. I'm not sure what it is and I'm scared to tell my mother. What should I do?):

To: anyone

Kind of sounds like what i get a lot. I remeber going to the dr once several years ago, seems i've been getting these ever since i hit puberty, but when i went to the dr i had a huge bump right on my bakini line. i shave, but not frequently cause i develop razor bumps & scar so easily as a result. it could be due to shaving but since this particular one was so big (biggest one i've ever had) & started to turn the area around it red & very sore, it was most likely a simple infection. she told me we have glands i that area just like the lymph nodes in our neck & underarms & sometimes they will swell up too. sometimes if they need to they can lance them to get the pus out. sometimes i just get ones the swell on my outer vagina that get a little sore & sometimes i get smaller ones that pus. i usually soak in hot water or put a hot cloth on it & as long as im at home, i keep on baggy sweats, no underwear so they can breathe & nothing rubbing up against it to irritate them. i will admit i've had one of each (2) that seems to not want to go away completely. a week ago the small bump had pretty much healed over & stopped bleeding/pussing & the swollen bump wasn't sore anymore & had gone down considerably but tonight i noticed its back & this time it looks like its going to come to a head so i'm going to keep heat on it & baggy sweat & hopefully it will hurry & come to a head then go away. dont hold on too tight to my own visit to my dr because it was several years ago & i basically remember it NOT being anything serious & something we just get. also my mom said her & hermother used to get them a lot too so even hereditary?? not sure

Today I noticed like two or three little red bumps around my vagina. They only hurt until you squeeze them and then like a very small amount of "watery" odorless liquid comes out and then it disappears. Afterwards I apply triple antibiotic cream on it and im fine. I think I have an untreated yeast infection bc it also itches from time to time.

Okay, I have had this before and my friend has it now, shes proper freaking out so we went to the Dr and she sed that it is nothing to worry about, just a skin irritation caused by soap, itching and sometimes even you bed. So dont worry and stop freaking out everyone (: Its okay, just leave it and dont pop it or itch it, other wise it could get worse or even infected and shizz (:

Me and, my boyfriend for over a year now, have unprotected sex. We have for a while now, and both of us are clean, been tested and everything.about 5 days ago we had sex and we also had sex the next day, then that very next day i noticed a very painful swolen area at the bottom of my vagina near my butt, and i had an odd discharge. The next day it was worse and more painful, and it would burn the swolen area after i pee. The swelling has gone down some but now there are pimple like bumps where the swelling used to be. The bumps are painful to the touch and almost feel raw, they are alittle itchy but i dont scratch them for fear of making it worse. Its still swolen, but yesterday i noticed blood in the discharge and now its like im on my period even tho i just had mine about a week and a half ago and im on the pill to regulate them and have been for the ladt 3 months n not had an irregular period. Im having to use tampons bc i dont have pads, and it is sooo painful to put a tampon in. We thought it was a yeast infection, but i dont knoe for sure. Im worried amd cant get to the doc till monday. Plz help, what could this be...

okay so basically ive had these cyst like things on my thighs and on my bikini line since i was like 11 so clearly its not sexually related, the outbreaks only occue sometimes and theyree really painful and annoying and im not really sure how to get rid of them all the doctors havent really been able to do much. Aside from that recently after having done some sexual things like being fingered etc (still havent had sexual intercourse though) ive been having oout breaks of pimple like bumps on my vag not inside the "lips" or anything but on the outside the only thing i can think ofis i get waxed and your noot supposed to do any major sweat inducing excercises or wear tight clothes within 48 hours of getting waxed cuz it can cause ingrown hairs and pimples cuz of the sweat irritation otherwise though seeing as i try to avoid this i dont know what could be the problem i take showers and am generally quite clean so anyone have any ideas

you may and probably have herpes either one or two, the bad kind is 2 and the not so bad but still ***** kind is 1.
I have herpes 1 and have gotten it in my mouth and down there, it ***** either way. i have never had sex before. but i have received oral sex...which is maybe how i got it. or i could have given it to myself somehow the doctor said.
my suggestions for home are the following:
1. lemon balm- tea to drink and cream to put on the sores
2. don't wear underwear until u r better and if u must wear white cotton underwear
3. don't have any sex unprotected anymore (oral, vaginal, anal)
4. take valtrex it is a prescription that treated Herpes Simplex 1 and 2
5. take baths (PLAIN WATER-NO SOAPS)
6. Don't stress, cry too much, trust me, you will get more and more sores
7. invest in dresses and skirts until you feel better again
8. take care of yourself and be kind to ur body

Answers alot of questions...
First and foremost see a doctor, and dont b afraid to talk to your parents. How do you know they arent having the same issues? If they get mad at you isnt it better then them finding out from you? It has been proven its not always from sex or is a STD. Protection during sex is probably the most important thing to do.
