Suggest Remedy To Get Rid Of Bumps After Shaving Pubic Hair
Hi, I shaved my pubic hair about two days ago now and I now have one or two pimple-like red bumps on my penis near the base. I m not quite sure what to do, I ve tried popping them but it hurts too much. They aren t bleeding or leaking puss in any way, they just hurt a little when I don t touch them. Is there any advice you could give me on how to get rid of them?

Hi
You seem to have developed folliculitis over the groin area .
Such a superficial skin follicular infection is common after shaving if the area .
Keep the affected area clean and dry.
You might need to apply a topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin or neosporin over the affected areas .
See a nearby dermatologist of the lesion tend to persist or increase.
