First you can STD can be passed through anything nomatter if you have sex or not but i shave down there too and i used to get them but what you do to stop that is shave every time the hair starts grow back because you will get used to it and thats all it is. Its a sevsitive area gettig used to something new just do i say and everything will be ok i promise :) Razor

Its just razor burn. What kind of razor are you using?? I used to buy the cheap kind from Walgreens for like 70 cents haha and i got REALLY bad razor burn. But then I splurged and bought Shick Quattro razor for women. its pricey but its made for sensitive areas like your bikini line. When you shave- make sure you wait a few minutes in the shower before you shave. The steam and hot water will open your pores down there and it will make it easier to shave off, as opposed to shaving outside the shower. make sure you're shaving in the direction of the hair (for most women, its shaving downwards). That way, it wont irritate the hair follicle and it wont cause the bumps.
Make sure you're using shaving cream too. Thicker the better. There's also gels/creams for your bikini line that are made to prevent the itchy bumps. Just look for them in your local pharmacy store. mine is just called bikini zone gel for razor bumps. Make sure you put lotion down there every day. it will help keep the skin smooth and soft. When you're done shaving, PAT the area dry, don't rub the area dry because that causes irritation too.

That area is really sensitive, so you are just getting razor bumps or bikini bumps or whatever you want to call them. It's completely normal.
You can try Bikini Zone products to help get rid of them, or sometimes when it happens to me I use unscented deodorant....it keeps my skin smooth!
