Bumps on my labia. Razor or something else?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi everyone, posting here 'cause my anxiety is literally up the roof these days.

Last week I shaved completely down there and forgot to use a brand new razor (first mistake). I also wanted things to be neat and tidy so I shaved everything and wasn't very careful (did not exfoliate, did not shave in the direction of the hair, etc.)

That day my long-term bf (we've been in a monogamous relationship for 2 years and we are both clean, my last pap smear was also negative) gave me head - he has a beard - and in the next days we also had (protected) sex quite roughly.

Fast-forward to last Saturday and I noticed these bumps on my labia. I've never had anything like that although my skin is super sensitive and I occasionally get red bumps when shaving even my legs.

Does this look like razor bums/folliculitis to you? I've got no pain whatsoever.

Thanks a lot to whoever might reassure me.image

    that looks like it was caused from shaving, might possibly be ingrown hair

      Thanks! That's what I believe too, but you know how anxiety is... it plays tricks on your mind.

    For anyone who has had experience/diagnosis of molluscum contagiosum, does this resemble it? I've got more pimples, also on my butt cheecks. Any help would be immensely appreciated 🙏

    I just hope it's razor bumps.

      Hello, I've been to a dermatologist yesterday and unfortunately it is molluscum contagiosum after all... I must have picked it up at the pool and it's so annoying as I'm always super careful everywhere.

      If you have the same bumps get them checked ASAP so you can start treatment right away. They are super contagious and annoying to get rid of.
