I have only ever been with 2 people sexually. One was 2 years ago with my then partner, and then more recently within the last month. I haven't gotten tested for STDs before which I should have after the first partner. I have no reason to believe that either of them cheated on me, and neither of them claimed to have had it. I got a brazilian wax for the first time about a month ago, so I'm wondering if it could be ingrown hair from that because it is so few bumps and it looks like they are all on the folicile. But I also feel like the wax was so long ago that they should be gone by now. Thoughts??imageimageimageimage

    As someone who has been getting Brazilian waxes every 4 weeks for the last year, I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that these are ingrowns. I still get them, even after a year and they look exactly like this. They are also on areas of high friction and contact which, again, lends itself to ingrown hairs. Definitely go get tested for STD's, but not because of this simply because you owe that to yourself 😃
