Hi Doctor, about 10 days ago I shaved my pubic area with an electric trimmer. Admittedly, it wasn't completely sanitized, as I had previously used it for my face/beard. I showered immediately afterwards. In ensuing days, I noticed an increased amount of red spots around the area I shaved. (I've had a few of them in the past, but always thought they were simply acne.) It wasn't until the past week that I suspected some type of infection. I haven't been sexually active, so this can't be attributed to anything of the like.
There are small, scattered red spots in addition to blotches that seem discolored (pinkish and red and color, about identical to the individual spots). They DON'T itch, cause irritation, or contain any type of pus or discharge. Everything is basically flat. However, I noticed the area is consideraby warmer to the touch, which has convinced me that there is an infection. I know the medical term for ingrown pubic hairs is pseudofolliculitis pubis. Is this simply my condition or is there something more? I'm hoping that just growing the hair out will eventually solve the problem. How can I best treat this?
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read.
