Thanks for contacting HCM
I see you are concerned about yellow areas on you pubic hair. This is called folliculitis, where the hair follicles become infected either from shaving or from rubbing. To treat the area I recommend using a topical antibiotics like Neosporin and reduce rubbing or shaving. Sometimes if the infection is bad enough then an oral antibiotic is needed.
