Question 1

what cream is good to use for razor bumps and dark spots on private area

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic: A good antibiotic cream (bacitracin, mupirocin, etc.) should resolve most razor bumps; the dark spots will slowly fade on their own. It's better, though, to prevent razor bumps in the first place by using a single-blade razor, which won't give you as close a shave, but that's the idea; shaving too close is what causes razor bumps in the first place.

Question 2

hi i am 25 years old i started shaving my bikini are and now i have brown spots and ingrown hairs with razor bumps how can i remove them?

Accepted Answer

Stop shaving...: ... practice good skin hygiene and skin preparation prior to shaving, buy new razors, clean and store your razors properly (on a dry surface, not in the shower/tub), and schedule an appointment with a Dermatologist for evaluation and consultation. You may have skin that just needs more TLC and possibly developed folliculitis. This is very common and a good Dermatologist will help.

Question 3

i shave my vagina area and my arm pits with a razor and now it has a lot of dark spots and razor bumps what can i use to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Shaving bumps: Laser hair removal will be helpful by destroying the hair follicles that cause the bumpsand reducing hair growth.

Question 4

i have dark spots on my vagina from previous razor bumps i also have scars from previous broil bumps under my butt cheeks how do i clear up the dark spots i have very low self esteem because if these issues?

Accepted Answer

Bleaching/laser/peel: Unfortunately it is not that easy getting rid dark spots following tissue injury--hyperpgmentation, which is often intensified by excessive rubbing or sun exposure. OTC bleaching cream such lustra (hydroquinone) may help, or even masking tattoos. Chemical peels/laser treatments are more effective but often costly.  Of course, covering make-up provides instant improvement! consult doc. Good luck.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Dark spots: You can use a cream with higher dose resveratrol in it - this will help lighten the skin.

Question 6

what lotion can i use that actually helps wit razor bumps bikini area & blemishes on the body caused from spots & sun exposer? please help

Accepted Answer

It depends: For razor bumps, use an after-shave lotion, let it dry and place a small amount of baby powder over it.
For "sunspots", wear sunscreen to prevent worsening. Also, check to ensure it isn't tinea versicolor, a fungal skin infection often noticeable after being in warmth. Tinea will improve with anti fungals like selsun blue. 
True sunspots will often improve by using  a hydroquinone lotion.

Question 7

could an allergic reaction cause bumps like a razor bump? or irritated spots in the vagina?

Accepted Answer

It can but: allergy reaction is usually associated with itching. Your problem is likely from something else such as irritation or even an infection (think genital wart). See GYN if bothersome or spreading.

Razor bumps: A steroid cream might be applied to decrease inflammation.  Exfoliation may be recommended to remove dead skin cells with retinoids.

Accepted Answer

Hyperpigmentation: This is likely hyper pigmentation due to folliculitis/ingrown hairs.  When you shave, be sure to use shaving cream &amp; only shave in the direction of hair growth, so you don't cut them off so short (decreases the risk of ingrown hairs.)  Also, exfoliate well on non-shave days to help prevent.  If it persists and/or happens often talk with your doctor about a topical antibiotic ointment to treat it
