Shaving Around Groin Area Posted: 09-18-07 23:18pm
I shaved my pubic region ( area above the
penis ) about 2 years ago, i am currently
17 years old. i shaved it with a razor
dryly without using shaving cream or
anything like that, i got alot of little
red bumps a day or two later, and then i
guess i got ingrown hairs too which ended
up looking like boils i think, i duno what
they are, but they wont go away and ive
had them for 2 years or so, sometimes the
"boils" go down and just looks like an
area of redness but every so often they
will swell up. I dont know what these are
and i would appreciate some help, and
maybe some advice on curing this? Im also
still a virgin and i know i dont have any
STD's or anything of the sort. Thanks for
the help.

oh sh** its been there for two years and
you havent shaved since?
lol well i dont think it is an std because
you havent had sexual intercorse...
it could be infected from when you first
shaved it? have you tried using any
medicaction on it to make it go away?

yeah its been there for about 2 years, im
not exactly sure but its been there for a
while, let me try to explain a little
better exactly what it is, i guess a few
of the hairs became ingrown or w/e and im
assuming they got infected so they turned
into what appears to be something like a
boil. theres about 3 or so different red
spots in the area and every so often they
will swell up, and one of them has popped
before a little bit and blood came out,
hence why i think they are some kind of
boil. yeah i know gross but i dont really
want to show a doctor, i figure some kind
of medicine or cream is out there but im
not sure what to use. And once they swell
up, i guess they just eventually pop and
then go down and just become red spots (
more like bloches on the skin ).

Hey Suzy .... you always could make me
laugh girl ...
Razor rash is soooo bloody painful, but
after 2 years this really should have
cleared up ... ingrown hairs however,
ain't so compassionate, and will stick
about under the skin and grow into your
'shaved area' .....
I used to shave, and it happened to me,
once I accidently took the head off one of
the 'lumps', it was itchy, so I scratched
it.
and this long hair sprung out all coiled
up, I put TCP, (which stung like mad) on
it to sterilise the area, now I impulate
those little blighters !!!!

I've had an ingrown pubic hair for around
10 years. I've never been able to solve
the problem, and my only recourse seems to
be rooting the damn thing out with a
needle every so often.
Shaving one's nuts is highly overrated.

Had the same sort of problem before ok, I
never let it go on as long as you did but
it turned out to be an ingrown hair.
Go to the doc and see what he/she says, if
you look closely you can probably see the
hair under the bump.
