I have bad body acne and I was wondering if it is normal to get some in the genital area.  They are little zits that turn white?  They normally come if there has been an irritation like shaving.  Does this mean I have an STD?

Yes, acne can occur in the genital area, and claricehotty is right, shaving can trigger it.  Probably not an STD.
