Bumps At Vaginal Hole, Look Like Bug Bites. Is This Because Of Too Much Shaving Or Body Wash?

About 3 days ago it would sting to go pee, it no longer does but now i have noticed bumps by my vaginal hole they look like bug bites and they have been bugging me. Im not sure if its from shaving to much or the body wash i use. Its been worrying me so i would like someone s opinion, I have been with the same partner for over a year.

Hi,

It is possible that you are having a superficial folliculitis due to excessive shaving. Use soft razors and do not shave frequently.

Change your body wash and look for improvement.

You may apply topical antibiotic cream like soframycin or antibiotic powder like Neosprin on the affected area. Wash the genital area with lukewarm water daily and dry it completely.

Drink plenty of water.

Ask for similar complaints in your partner. If yes, both of you may be treated with oral antibiotics.

However, it is not a worrisome problem. It occurs commonly in young adults.

You shall be fine soon.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
