What Causes Red Bumps On Pubic Hair And Shaft Of Penis?

I have red bumps in my pubic hair and on the shaft of my penis. I shaved Saturday and then the same night had unprotected sex, the bumps occurred Sunday or Monday I can t really remember. The bumps are uncomfortable and itchy, and seem like they may be spreading.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is possible that since you had sex soon after shaving, if you have not shaved properly then there were small ends of hair sticking out of the skin which caused irritation during sex especially if the razor had an old blade. There is also the possibility of shaving itself causing such bumps if you are new to shaving and do not do shaving regularly. Ingrown hair follicles can also cause a similar pattern of bumps and irritation. Itching after shaving is common if you do not apply moisturisers in the region. This is because the small hairs irritate the skin. Unprotected sex causing the bumps overnight is less likely a reason for your problems.
