hi..im 14, and im still a virgin and have never had any sexual contact with anyone. I recently started shaving my pubic area because i noticed red skin under it. after i shaved it was the same. my mom said it was just a rash, or an allergic reaction to something. Im not sure if its ingrown hairs or what. Im scared it might be genital warts, but you cant have that if u havent had sex. there is no history of any HPV virus' from either sides of my family. i've done lots of research and im not sure what it could be... Please help!!!!

hey it sounds like you may have shaven the wrong way (no offense intended) and gotten some ingrowing hairs they are very common especially if you have only just started shaving you need to get them out if they are because they can be dangerous, you will know if it is them as they look like black hairs under your skin and they come up in like a red spot and are sore to touch Jenny
