Help:( I don’t know what this is :/

okay so ive had these bumbs for a little while theyll itch a few days after shaving and ive been thinking theyre ingrowins but i hate that it makes my vagina ugly !:frowning: can anyone tell me if theyre herpes ? or ingrowns ? (qlso i picked the hairs out of the ones that are bleeding" if anyone can help me if these arent herpes how to get rid of this!

Hey, seeing as though it looks like you just shaved recently I would say that they’re more than like ingrown hairs. From the pic I can see a couple hairs growing into the skin. I would suggest that you exfoliate before shaving and every couple of days to ensure dead skin is shed to combat ingrowns. But in my opinion if you shave your V bald expect that you’ll get those sometimes. Trimming is a good alternative (you can get pretty low).
Hope this helps :slightly_smiling_face:

thank you that gives me hope! :heart:

look like just ingrown hairs try using conditioner while shaving that cause me less ingrown hairs but i wouldnt shave for a week until those are somewhat healed

look at my most recent post im needing some help

You’re welcome!

Hi,

Not Herpes, this is an irritative folliculitis, due to shaving.

My recommendation is to stop shaving for a while, remove any ingrown there is and let the epidermis heal up. Also try shaving in the same direction the hair grows. Another recommendation is to shave with an electric shaver, than shave normally, this greatly reduces the amount of times you pass the blades through the same place.

The Treatment for this will be antiinflamatory antibiotics like Doxicycline, clindamycin but they are not OTC. Neosporin or Triple Antibiotic Ointment (Walgreens) can also help you help up faster.

If you have any further questions you may DM me,

Hugs!!

thank you so so much!!

I was pretty scared and ready to call the doctor for testing. thank you for posting and the responds. :slight_smile:
