More for the girls i would imagine....
So im worrying a little bit and i'm not sure if i have reason.
I have shaved my bikini line for ages but few months ago, decided i wanted a change and did it all. Everything was fine until last week perhaps when these little white spots appeared. They pretty much look like a pus filled spot, not very pleasant but i have to say i popped one lol Gross i know
Anyways,
At the back of my mind i'm thinkin, taht couldnt be some kind of infection i've caught? bearing in mind i've not had sex in over 3/4 months! and even then it was totally safe sex..
In my head im thinking, its just little spots from like ingrowing hairs from not using a sharp enough razor, and also the fact that at work i wear really tight trousers, and run around gettin stupidly hot for at least 9 hours...
Last week i didnt shave and didnt notice any spots at all when i looked but since i shaved now they have appeared again :mad:
ANyone had anything similar??

I kid, I kid
The only thing I can suggest is, either stop shaving and start trimming (if at all), or improve your shaving equipment/technique.
Get a good razor, do it under the hot shower with lots of soap or foam. Gentle strokes and not too often over the same spot, moisten afterwards. sounds like a chore but isn't really.
If you keep having those spots then just stop shaving, it's not life dependent, I reckon.
Alternatively you could try to wax.
cheers.
/edit: moreover don't wear any "plastic" down there. If the fabric of your pants/trousers doesn't absorb the sweat you get ugly red dots and itch down there, when shaven.
Erm dont tend to wear "Plastic" but will bear that in mind lol
Thanks for advice think i'll stop shaving for a while anyway, altho im really not a waxing girl so i'll just have to keep the shaved look for "special occasions" haha
Thanks
i actually got these spots after being waxed for the first time so its not just caused by shaving. i was given this advice by the salon and they all disappeared after a day or 2. also try gently exfoliating the area to stop ingrowing hairs.
