Question 1

i have a lot of white flaky rings on my pelvic around the base of my hair and two small bumps i have shaved a while back and now my hair growing back ?

Accepted Answer

This is not unusual: Just like shaving anywhere, the hair follicles can become irritated and inflamed afterwards and the red bumps are likely associated with hair growing back. This is common. Make sure you shave (carefully!) with a clean blade, rinse after each stroke, exfoliate gently afterward, and don't use fragrance powders/lotions. OTC cortisone cream can help with redness/bumps. Stay well:)

Question 2

is it ok to shave ur pubic hair before going for your first pelvic exam?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Shaving your pubic hair does affect you pelvic exam at all.

Question 3

are you supposed to shave down there for your gynecologist visit.. i've never done a pelvic exam and i'm nervous any tips ?? what should i do ?

Accepted Answer

No need to shave: There is no need to shave pubic hair. The more people who shave their pubic hair, the more pressure there will be upon other people to also shave their pubic hair. Since there is nothing inherently abnormal about pubic hair, there is no reason to shave pubic hair. It's just fashion. If one is a teen, she has many other more important things to do, so pubic hair should not be an issue.

tiny single blister on pelvic area not in or around vagina. shaved, as hair grew back, itched like crazy. hair is longer, no itch, but still there ?

Requires examination: It is difficult to comment without taking a look at the lesion. It could be a simple folliculitis which is infection of the hair roots (can happen with shaving).It could be a fungal lesion. It can also be a lesion possibly linked to a sexually transmitted infection such as herpes or syphilis. In any case this would require examination and possibly a swab/biopsy taken from the site of blister.
