How To Treat Vaginal Hair Bumps?
How can I prevent hair bumps from appearing on my vaginal area after shaving or using hair removal substances? Also, I have tiny bumps on my cheeks that appear dark. These bumps can tend get itchy here and there, but never always. Could drinking water get rid of these bumps? Please help. Thank you.

Hi there.
What you describe dear are most likely ingrown hair or pseudofolliculitis.
Drinking water will not help get rid of these bumps.
Immediately after shaving, waxing, do try using a mild hydrocortisone-antibiotic combination cream for 24 hrs.
Then, shift to a cream called Sensibio.ds from a company called Bioderma & used this liberally in the region.
Together this will help keep your vaginal bumps in check.
As for the bumps on the face, a visual will be better so please do approach the dermatologist nearest to you...you may use this HCM site to source one & if in the Bangalore region, feel free to drop in on me @ Vikram Hospital.
Do try using a 2.5% Benzac-AC cream as a spot application evenings for the face lesions.
Good Luck & wish you a clear skin soon.
