Hi.
I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Vaginal itching, irritation & bumps could be due to your simple hair removal techniques, usage of tampons to minor infectious conditions like sebaceous cyst, Bacterial or yeast origin. I advice you to,
-Use body wash like benzoyl peroxide 5% prior to your  hair removal techniques.
- a course of Antibiotics (tab. Amoxiclav 625mg twice daily) if needed
-Daily Sitz bath
- Analgesics( Ibuprofen ) to get relieved of pain
- Avoid using tampons as it may worsen your symptoms
- wear cotton innerwear.
- Maintain good hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
