Question 3

Accepted Answer

From shaving?: If you trim or shave the hairs may be caught under the surface. Gently exfoliate with a buff pad and it should be ok. 
If you are not shaving it could be from products you are using. Use unscented items and mild soap , especially in the winter.

Question 5

my boyfriend and i decided to use some lube, and afterwards, i got red bumps/blisters on pubic area. been tested and was clean. allergic reaction?

Accepted Answer

Probably: If infection testing was comprehensive and all negative, an allergic reaction is likely. You might want to go with an entirely different brand, and maybe a different type  (water based if you used silicone and vice versa.) stay away from scents/favors/sensation enhancers for now.

Question 9

i have red itchy bumps on my pubic area im real worried but they don't seem to be an std they look more like boils and there on my penis i just started using antibiotic cream and they dry out what should i do

Accepted Answer

It : It sounds like they are responding to the antibiotic cream, however that may not be enough. You are likely dealing with abscesses or boils. Did you recently shave? This is a common precursor to infection. Please visit your doctor because std'd still need to be ruled out. If it is bacterial your doctor may put you on oral antibiotics. It is always best to have a doctor examine you in these types of instances.
Good luck.

Question 10

red bumps pubic area keep coming back?

Accepted Answer

So they come and go?: Really need more information and thorough description. Do you shave the  area? If you do you could be irritating the skin. Try to give a good history and description
