is your period due? I used to get them right before my period...instead of pimples on my face I had them on my vagina. I was tested for everything and they figured out it wasn't anything...it was always just one bump with pus in it you will be fine!

Hey i get them all the time from shaving a good way to avoid razor burn and ingrown hairs is to make sure your shaving in the direction of the hair, make sure your razor is fresh and always wet with hot water and that the area is not dry. when done what helps me is to put lotion on it but not scented or anything with alcohol i think what i use is called euserion cream that will help keep mostiure in the skin and help avoid that but it sounds completely normal to me just don't pick at the bumps because they can become infected and if they do you'll have to go to the doctor and get antibiotics so its best just to leave them alone. honestly it's better just to not shave the hair down there is to help guard your lady parts from bacteria take away that hair and you have very little protection also the hair could get into your vagina and cause infections just something to think about.

No , Its nothing bad getting bumps is very natural when you shave down there its like a mans face when they shave. If it gets purple or so you may want to go to the doctors just don't keep shaving over that area. :)

The first (and only) time I ever shaved down there I got little bumps too. It's razor burn, and sometimes a couple will stay and are like little pimples. As far as I know, this is just a mini ingrown hair. If you're freaking out, go see a doctor. Chances are it's nothing, and certainly not cancer. You don't get cancer from shaving.
