Thanks for contacting HCM
Yes the bumps in you pubic area could be related to the use of Nair. the Nair is a depilatory agent the breaks down the hair molecules and the hair breaks off but the hair follicle stay intact. The as the hair regrows it may grow into the skin or the hair follicle may become infected. I would recommend possible shaving but be sure to shave with the grain and not too close.

Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again for any of your medical questions.
