What is this?

This is for someone who knows,well hopefully knows what this could be. For the past 3 days after I had shaved my Va-jj (vagina) there have been itchy and round bumps with small cut like openings around my Labium majora and my Labium minora, and unfortunately two in my inner lips close to the opening of my vagina. For the past 2 days it has hurt me to pee and it stings right after I do so and it also hurts to sit down at times. I have no idea if I should go to the doctor or not and just wait for it to heal and hope that it is nothing serious but they show no signs of healing for now. I have personally made sure that I try to keep it clean and well I have been putting Antibiotic ointment on the what I think are cuts but I'm not sure if I should continue doing that or not. My Husband also has that little problem but his is nit so severe as mine is and ironically he got that after shaving with my razor as well. Please, please if anyone wants to, please help me figure out what to do.

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would suspect that you have a yeast infection--and your husband does too!  I would recommend diflucan for the both of you--one tablet each.
Usually this clear the condition up quite nicely.
Hope this helps!
