Red bumps in pubic region

---

Hey guys!

About a week ago, I shaved my pubic hair completely off, as I always do every couple of weeks.

Two days ago, I had unprotected sex with a new partner who had taken advantage of me while I was under the influence of alcohol. I ended up cheating on my boyfriend with this boy, and I regret it dearly.

This morning when I went to take a shower, I noticed somewhat large red bumps in my pubic region, mostly at the sides closest to the legs, but they stop just before my vaginal area. They are kind of itchy, yet kind of sore.

I'm very concerned, and I'm hoping this isn't an STD or anything.

Some possible explanations I had thought up was that it could be heat rash due to the warm weather, it could be irrtitation from something (like our bodies rubbing up together and irritating the short hairs), or it could be an allergic reaction to the material in the new thongs I bought a few days ago.

I'm not sure what to think right now, and I was wondering if any of you had an explanation or some advice for me.

I want to know what it is and how to get rid of it.

Please help me out...

Thank you so much!

Those explanations are all quite possible. Another possibility is that you may have caught pubic lice (crabs) from him. They can be treated with insecticde, if that's what it is.

It could also be a skin reaction to shaving. I can't shave my bikini area for the simple fact, I get nasty red blotches. If I want to lose that hair, the only thing I can use is wax. Lasts longer too and is much smoother

Sounds like it could be scabies - check out some information on this condition b/c your symptoms sound very similar to scabies skin mites. Luckily if it is that, its pretty easy to treat w/ a special cream and by washing everything.
