I am not an expert, but each bump looks like it's at a hair follicle, so this appears to me to be Irritation from shaving. I would stop shaving and maybe try some hydrocortisone cream on the area to help reduce the inflation. Good luck!

Matt, do you regularly shave your pubic hair off? I also wonder what age you are?
Obviously, I am looking for explanations as to what these are: in saying they do not have the typical appearance of anything in particular, I would suggest the best approach would be to get a Medical professional to check it for you.
So either your GP / Regular / Family Doctor. or go to any Sexual Health Service, if you live in the UK there is also GUM Clinics at local General Hospitals ....

Hello, shave about every two to three weeks. 27 years old. After about two weeks there is no sign of them but still itches in that spot

You need to think about anything you are applying to your body on a regular basis, such as an antiperspirant, that kind of thing - you have gotten quite an unusual reaction, you need to try to identify potential sources of that and not use them anymore ....

possible folliculitis which is the infection and inflammation of the hair follicle, see a dermatologist or GP if in the uk for treatment x

it looks like folliculitis which isn't anything to worry about, i agree with others, stop shaving for a while and see if it improves. if it doesn't you may need to see a dermatologist just to make sure so that you can get the right treatment xx
folliculitis is the inflammation and infection of the hair follicles
