Black spots could be the beginnings of ingrown hair, or simply your pubic hair growing back in. If it's your hair returning, there's nothing you can do about this.
If it is due to ingrown hairs - and you'll know because they might become inflamed, itchy, or painful - then there are a few pubic-friendly tips.
If you feel shaving is the right choice for you (alternative include not shaving, waxing, etc), then you'll want to make sure you are using a new razor. The sharper the better, and an older razor won't effectively get the hairs - meaning you'll have to keep going over the same area again and again. This leads to razor burn.
The best shaving cream is probably one for sensitive skin, applied lavishly over the area. Then with your new, sharp razor, shaving in the direction of hair growth. This isn't as effective as shaving against the grain, but is less likely to result in bumps or spots. Your skin will also be less irritated the less the razor goes over a particular spot.
This could mean shaving in stages - perhaps going over an area, taking a few days to let the skin recoup, and then trying again. It's all time consuming and no matter how careful you are, a bit of razor burn probably can't be avoided.
Waxing is an alternative that will leave your skin smoother and the hair takes longer to grow in. Or, of course, you could go au natural.
Best of luck.
