Oh and in order to get rid of them you have to know what they are:
Razor burn- only shave down there with fresh blades, and moisturize
Acne- wash down there with unscented soap. Or an antibacterial soap (DO NOT DOUCHE, in general, but particularly with that soap) my gyno recommend hibiclens, which you can get at CVS in the first aid section
Ingrown hairs- everyone's got a trick for these. Try not shaving, washing well, and even acne medication(Used sparingly)
Cysts- see a doctor, but that's really probably not it.
If you haven't had sex, it's not herpes

How do u know which one it is other than herpes cause I'm to young and don't have a boyfriend
Razor burn is RED, and a lot of little tiny bumps.

Acne looks just like the acne you'd get on your face.

Ingrown hairs usually feel deeper than acne, and hurt more than acne, but are about the same size.

There's not a great way to explain it. I would google it to see a picture

Antibacterial soap will help all situations though, even just a bit.

Razor burn is possible. Or they could be ingrown hairs, acne, or ( if they are really large, deep, and painful) a form of cyst. 'Bumps' is very vague. Basically if they're causing you pain or interrupting your life, see a doctor. Otherwise don't worry.
