Genital wart or infected razor bump

Hi doctor I recently shaved and my bikini line and pubic area became itchy. I scratched it due to the itching. I then put alcohol on my pubic area days later and then a growth appeared on my bikini line. I was tested for stds a month ago and they were negative. I’m married might I add.

I'm sorry, but there are no doctors here.  If a doctor's opinion is what you are seeking, make an appointment with one. Do know that alcohol is very drying, so hard to see how that's going to help.  You actually might benefit from seeing a doc, especially a female doc, as it appears you could benefit from some advice on how to care for that area of your body.  But shaving is a common skin irritant and really not a natural thing to do.  We do it because we like the way it looks, but for most of human existence nobody did such things.  It's a tender area and you irritated it, and it needs to recover.  You might try something soothing like aloe rather than something irritating like alcohol.
