Red Spots On Pubic Area After Shaving. Ingrown Hair?
Hi, I ve had some red spots in my pubic area after shaving that came up about 2-3 days after shaving. They are only about 1mm across. I can pop them and this small tiny hard white thing comes out, and then they bleed a decent amount for the size. They seem to just come and go and have now been present for about a month. Pretty sure its not an STD , and think they are ingrown hairs, but I haven t been shaving since the initial incident. What do you think?

So don't shave ., only trim the hairs on that area..,
use steriod with gentamycin cream and antihistamins
