GIRL i am literally dealing with this right now too!!!! mine looks SO similar. i have sensitive skin in my bikini area as well! last time i shaved was last thursday, my bf and i had sex the next day on friday (it irritated my skin and was kinda rough/ not enough lubricant) and now i have a few bumps like these. i want to believe they are just ingrown hairs caused by friction & irritation (they kinda look dark in middle) but im worried. i have an appointment scheduled on monday to get tested. my sores were never necessarily blisters but they did bother me alot the first few days and itched as well. i dont have any pain while urinating either.

I literally sat in front of a mirror crying tonight i am so stressed... I normally wax but was just lazy and reckless. I thought maybe it was irriated from wearing jeans/leggings and it was just ingrown but now im having a full blown meltdown lol. i ALWAYS use condoms. Im hoping to get an appointment in the am

Ugh i feel you. I had my meltdown last night and cried lol i'm just hoping that they heal and that its just bumps that got infected or more irritated from my underwear! my sores are on one side of my vag kinda where your underwear or thong rubs 😕 Makes me feel better that i am not alone! Its such a scary moment when you notice something down there that doesnt look right.

turns out for me it was really bad razor burn.
heres a picture from today march 18. while if you compare my first photo it was extremely bad razor burn. now i have to look out for ingrowns as my hair continues to grows and it recover. even though i really want to shave ): i threw up out two new razors because my hair was really bugging but now its not. but i used two new razors because its best to use new razors at the time in order to not cause any more infections. but i want to shave to have it smooth. ):

i was mostly scared because i did have sex with a new partner (we used a condom) and this was our second time but there was a month apart difference from the first time we had sex to the second time. and i got ended up getting the razor burn two days after we had sex so i worried. but im now okay i just have to recover my skin.

girl this helped me so much because mine looks so similar. I web md'ed myself into a spiral, have been losing sleep and hyperfocusing on them because I just recently started seeing someone new. just wanted to say you're not alone and it's such a struggle because I want to shave as well but my skin is just too sensitive and is prone to infection and scarring

update:
tested negative for herpes along with everything else. turns out its a type of yeast infection you can get on the skin. You can get it from shavinng with old razors, staying in sweaty clothes, swimsuits etc.
THANK YA JESUS
