well when your boyfriend was fingering he could have had some kind of virus on his fingers. you could just be having razor burn. but my sigestion to you is to talk to your mom. i know it will be hard but just say you have somekind of rash and you realy need to get it checked out. the burning could be from a urinary track infection.
hope everything works out for you. any other questions just let me know.

HPV, herpes, and other various STDs can get under a person's nails and live for some time since it's fairly warm and slightly moist there--the perfect environment. Even if you wash your hands the virus could be deeply embedded so far back that you cannot properly reach the full extent of it. The virus, of course, will grow a little under the nails so that it will reach outward enough to be spread into/onto various parts of your body. So, putting fingers near a vagina IS a health risk. It is VERY possible you've contract herpes (based on your description).
(*Note that virgins can have STDs & STIs too.)
This being said, about 80% of the United States population is currently infected with one or both of the strains of herpes. Now that you realize just how easily it is spread, maybe you can understand how serious this sort of thing can get.
Please, see your doctor immediately for a full STD test (blood test; make sure to specifically request BOTH STRAINS of herpes). Tell them about the bumps, itching, and burning and allow them to do a light swabbing of the area.
If you are infected then it means you're at risk of giving it to your partner. If you give it to a partner you have not told about your STD infection and they contract it then they can sue you. If you are not on special herpes treatment when you, eventually, become pregnant down the road then your child can be born blind or, even worse, dead.
This is serious and shouldn't be delayed. Pick up the phone NOW before things get more serious. Even if it isn't herpes this is NOT normal and shouldn't be left alone.
Lastly, yes, sometimes shaving will cause some bumps but not "everywhere" down there. It's usually one bump here or there and that's that. Please, do not just assume this is a shaving rash.
Please, get tested and make sure everything is okay. If turns out to just be a rash then the doctor may be able to give you some tips on lessening these irritating symptoms.
