What Causes Rashes In Pubic Area?
I have got an itchy rash on my mind pubis , Im still a virgin so it s not an std or anything like that, it may be to do with the fact I didn t shave for a few days but surely that s not the cause? The rash is very red and bumpy and looks like a few ingrown hairs there too

hi.
it is possible that you have folliculitis or infected hair follicles (which usually happens when you shave or when hair is accidentally pulled-out from the area and gets infected). bacterial vaginosis must also be ruled-out. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gynecologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly. avoid manipulation of the area, and maintenance of good hygiene is also recommended.
hope this helps.
good day!!
