If your young and not sexually actvie its probly just razor burn or something i wouldnt worry just dont shave for a while and see if it gets better if it doesnt you might have a yeast infection and have to go see a doctor about it. You'd rather be safe than sorry but most the time its just razor burn and you did say you were young so i wouldnt jump to conclusions. just wait dont shave and see how it goes! Hope it helps! Good luck! [ BaMaBaBy2005's advice column | Ask BaMaBaBy2005 A Question ]

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Try using some powder and see if that doesn't help with those bumps. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
andhearts answered Saturday September 3 2005, 7:14 pm: hey! girls get that when they shave there sometimes. but you said you dont shave often? well, when you do...use shaving gel and try to do it out of the shower so the water doesnt rinse it away...and kind of dry the area before doing it. thats all i can say. im not sure. and if your not sexually active...i dont hink ou can get it. kay, get back to me and send one to the inbox. much love, god luck...-erica [ andhearts's advice column | Ask andhearts A Question ]

It could be a rash or reaction to some type of soap or body wash?? But its better to be safe than sorry so if dosent go away in a couple days I would schedule an appointment with a doctor or dermotoligist! Dont worry about the embarassment part, its true you might feel awkward for 10 or some minutes but if it something serious and you dont get it checked out, the consiquences will be way worse! good luck!!!
