little red bumps are little ingrown hairs.\ndont shave against the growth anywhere - armpits are the most common wrong way shave - shave up, not down.\nYou can get ingrown hair removing lotion that may help.

There's an excellent explanation at the website below. I've included a bit here, but be sure to check the website for more details:\n\n"People can help prevent razor bumps and barber's rash by:\n\n    * using warm water to soften the skin and hairs before shaving; shaving right after a shower.\n    * applying shaving cream, foam, or soap in the opposite direction of hair growth (usually upward), moisturizing your skin as well as hair.\n    * shaving the easier areas first: the jawline, cheeks, and neck.\n    * shaving in the direction of hair growth (usually downward).\n    * not stretching your skin taut.\n    * rinsing your razor thoroughly after each use and replacing your blades every week or more often if necessary."\n \n\nAlso, "low" quality razors are usually single blade or disposable double blades. "High" quality usually have more blades - up to five, now, which is absolutely ridiculous. For women, single blade (cheap) razors are more effective if you don't shave your legs frequently. The single blade razor doesn't collect as much hair as two (or more) blades do.

There is a product called "Tend Skin" that works sooooooooo well.  I have the blackest, thickest pubic hair and I shave my "hoo ha" in the shower and then apply this product...  it burns slightly when you first apply it because it kills any germs or bacteria in the hair folicle or tiny 'cuts' you may have caused by shaving, which reduces the chances or razor burn.

He just needs to wash his face.  If you shave down there it could be the irritation from rubbing his face against you or any soaps, perfumes, powders you might have used that day or right before that he could be slightly sensitive to.  I highly doubt it is an STD.  If it blisters and shows a more red appearance then you might want to see the doctor, but for now use an good facial cleanser...just treat it similiar to acne and it should go away.  Good luck!

2 things....it might be a furuncle....which is a bacterial infection of the little hairs growing out of your skin there....many people get them right above their buttcrack......which leads me to the other thing...you should see a Dr. and gets some antibacterial meds for it :)

I have the answer!!  Neosporin gel.  After you get out of the shower just rub a little over the surface area, but not near your woowho.  Just use it for the first couple days after you've shaved - it prevents the razor burn and the bumps...

I'd suggest getting it waxed.  It's longer lasting and provides better results.\n\nIf you must shave, shave with the grain and try using Coochie Cream or Bikini Zone to help reduce the irritation.

I can only answer based on my own experience.\nTrim the longer hairs if you can. You don't want to load down the blades of your razor. Shave AFTER your shower or bath so the skin is softer as well as the hairs. If it's your first time, try shaving with the growth of the hair. It won't cut as close but you'll prevent razor drag and/or ingrown hairs, which will happen. I use one of those shower gloves, the rough ones, every time I shower to free up the dead skin cells and prevent the pesky bumps.

Your skin is probably getting irritated by your razor.  It will take time for your skin to get used to it but over time it should go away.

Your skin may be sensitive in that area.\n\nYou don't say if you are using an electric razor or a razor with shaving cream.\n\nIf it's the former, use Electric Shave lotion before you shave that sets up the beard.\n\nIf its the later, buy some "Edge" shaving GEL shaving cream.\n\nIt goes on as a gel first, then turns into a cream.  The gel acts as a barrier between the razor and your skin.\n\nMake sure you properly prepare your beard by using hot water (a hot wet towel works great) first before putting on the shaving cream.\n\nTry not to save too close either. (Don't press down hard)

I have a little of it too. I have no idea why it's there, but to get rid of it for good, the best way would be to get laser hair removal. It might be a little expensive, but hey, it'll keep guys from walking away!

Dr Mel says: Thinking of shaving? There’s no right or wrong here. Most women don’t - but it’s totally up to you. Let’s weigh-up the pros and cons.\n\nShaving: the bad news\n1. Shaving involves razors which are sharp and can slip. Ouch!\n2. Even expert shaving can leave us with a rash.\n3. When hairs grow back, they are stubbly and can be in growing.\n4. The follicles of the hairs can get inflamed causing spots, called folliculitis.\n5. Pubes are there for a reason: they protect our bits and keep them warm.\n6. Sharing razors is dangerous and can spread infections.\n\nShaving: the good news\n1. We look fabulous in our new high leg bikini.\nSix against one. Hmm.\n\nIf you decide to shave, go carefully, stick to your bikini line (not between your legs) and use a new razor. Or why not save it for the two weeks in the year when being a bikini babe is essential?

don't worry, it is skin... it can get pimples... just means the pores are getting clogged with oil or dirt... shaving will increase the bumps... those tend to be pimples or ingrown hairs... your skin emitts natural oils, so if you excersise a lt, or walk alot you can be more prone the the pimples down there...

It's much more likely that you have ingrown hairs from going to the barbershop.  You might try a solution called "TendSkin".  It works REALLY well at lessening appearance of razor bumps/ingrown hairs.  The URL is below

Shaving 101 \n\nIf you appreciate the always-ready convenience of shaving, there are a few things you can do to minimize the “bikini bump” syndrome that often accompanies this home hair-removal method. \n\nFirst, be sure to adequately wet the skin and the bikini hair. Since pubic hair is much more coarse than hair on other parts of the body, this saturating step is very important. Using a large amount of a moisturizing shaving cream, such as Aveeno Therapeutic Shaving Gel or Peter Thomas Roth 21st Century Shave Cream, helps soften the hair even more, making shaving easier. \n\nWhen you begin to shave, pull the skin tight with your non-shaving hand. Then shave in upward strokes. Make sure there is adequate shaving cream on the hair and skin before each stroke. Without this protection, you’re likely to get red and bumpy after you shave. \n\nSome experts recommend rubbing an ice cube over the shaved bikini area to reduce redness and discomfort. A nice application of a soothing after-shave product, such as California North After Shave Care can help make you more comfortable. And if those nasty bikini bumps do appear, try MD Formulations Glycare Acne Gel, which is great for sending them packing. \n\nRubbing alcohol-based shaving bump products have made a name for themselves but be careful. Alcohol can actually worsen the inflammation. And the active ingredient in most of these products is nothing more than aspirin. So consider taking a Tylenol or Advil before you shave to reduce the amount of inflammation that may arise. You´ll be able to skip the alcohol and still reap the benefits. \n\nAnother option to reduce skin inflammation: look to GHK Copper Peptides. Best known for their use in skin rejuvenation, these handy little molecules first made their presence known in the wound healing world. Try a dab of Neova After Shave Therapy after shaving and see if you don´t get some well deserved relief.

make sure you use a really sharp razor. Get one of the ones with four blades, and use a shaving cream that is for sensitive skin. After you shave the are, rinse it off with cool water, and that should help some. Good luck girl.
