What Causes Red Bumps On Genitals Post Shaving?

I havent had sex with anyone in the past 2 months, problem started a month ago, i have only had one sex partner which was my wife. This happened after I shaved. Ive been getting red bumps, small ones all over my genitles and around the area, i do not have fever, soreness, no burning sensation, just some itchiness. A doctor mentioned it could be fungus, but it hasnt gone away.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

From your description it looks like the bump arises because of the reactiom of the shaving on genitals.

I don't think its fungal infection. But you should consult the doctor after a week period because, this reaction wanes of in a few days. If it won't disappear than you can consult the doctor and review the diagnosis.

Right now you should take the cetrizine tablet under your doctors guidance for itching. Cleanliness and itching is all what is required to clear rest of the things.

Please wear cotton undergarments it will prevent the erosion on the skin because of walking.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
