Hi,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to Healthcare Magic.

I can make out that you are quite stressed regarding the bumps on your bikini area.
Firstly you should not be worried about any possibility of sexually transmitted infections in your case.
To tell you regrading your problem, the hair a the bikini site are quite coarser and thicker then rest of the body. The roots of the hair are also prominent according to the coarseness. Because of sweating and hygiene problem these can get infected anytime. so leading to the kind of black and white heads.

For the betterment , wear cotton clothes, maintain good hygiene, change undergarments two times per day. For permanent kind of relief- laser hair reduction under expert hands is best mode to reduce the possibility of bump formation in these area.
Hope these informations will help.

"With good health wishes"
