Weird bumps in pubic area of vagina
Hello and good evening! I'm 19 years old and a virgin. Well I don't know what wrong with me. For the past 3 mos. I've started to develop small/sm-med size bumps in the pubic area of the pelvic area. I don't know why. It seems as if it's some type of acne, because they do hurt and a few times pus seeps when ripen.
It can't be herpes because i've never had any sexual contact before.
Please help me!!!

I have the same problem . I'm 17 and a virgin and I get weird pimple like bumps on my vaginal lips. When u go see the doctor let me know so I can know wat they are and how to avoid them.. Good luck .. Email me @***@****
I have the same thing, and I'm only twelve. I just looked this up and found this site. I hope it's nothing too serious, and I'm afraid to check with my mom. Help me too!
Hi Everyone!!!
OH.MY.GOSH. I thought I was the ONLY person with these bumps. I have had them for about a year now and I have no idea why I didnt look it up sooner because i have spent the past year worrying and crying and scared to tell my parents about this thinking it was some type of genital herpes or something. (I am 15 btw and I had sex one time when I was 14 [ really bad mistake:( ], and before I ever got my first period...awkward)... anyways, i do shave and i just realized i NEVER got these bumps until i started shaving. They are usually the size of a pea and kinda hard when you touch them and now i do believe they are from shaving and the underwear i wear. I wonder if wearing boyshort type underwear would help?? probably. and i dont want to stop shaving there but maybe if i stopped they would go away?? They are so annoying but you will not believe how relieved i am to know that i am not the only person with this and also that it is not an std or something. I know many of us are worried about this but thank our lucky stars that it is not an std and that we will survive thru this together<3 So as girljustwantingtohelp379 stated, we should just wash ourselves A LOT and keep up personal hygiene! Also, i read somewhere that these bumps can be caused by sweating, so if you play a sport that involves a lot of sweating, soccer for example(which i do play), your sweating down there, along with the friction from your underwear rubbing along your groin area, can cause these bumps. Remember, the bumps i am talking about are not on your vagina, they are along your groin.
OH, and when I shave there I usually shave every one to two weeks and sometimes i do get razor bumps...another website stated that waxing is a good alternative to shaving because shaving can cause ingrown hairs which can also cause these bumps. I hope some of this stuff has helped & i just wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone else who has commented on this page because you ladies have helped me in my research to finding out that this is not as big of a deal as i thought it was.
You are all BEAUTIFUL and do not let these stupid bumps change who you are, which is amazing. I'll admit I have felt self-conscious about these and sometimes they are painful, but we have pulled thru this for a long time and we are still living.
I hope you all have a wonderful life and remember, you are all BEAUTIFUL<3~

if you are shaving or getting spots, mainly its hormone acne or ingrown hairs,
1. if you are shaving, wash your area thoroughly and if the hair is long go with the hair until it is short like leg hairs then you may go against, yes if you are new to shaving it will hurt or it will be more sensitive for some people,
- my suggestion
shave at night so when after shaving you wear no underwear to bed but wear nice loose pants, also moisturise your area (yes it can sting but re frame from itching)
2. if you are not shaving but still getting spots, then they are just hormonal, when you are reaching your period or having your period your hormones are working a lot harder which makes it more likely to get hormonal acne.
But no matter what even if you do not have any at all i suggest you wash thoroughly every time you go for a shower, wear new underwear every day and make sure that you just keep your hygiene up to scratch, everyone gets them dont worry your not the only one :)

i'm 19..still a virgin and i also have those pimple like bumps in my pubic area. i got one and i was so scared that it might be somewhat cancerous bumps or something in that line, so i shave down there.. just a thought that it will be gone after that. two weeks after i shave i got another one and this time it's quite big and does hurt! i'm really worried and thought that i'm gonna die!!!
well now i know that maybe it's just a hormone acne or ingrown hairs, thanks alot! =))
