A member asked:

I shaved my pubic area and saw small spots of blood. now i have painful red sores and my inner thighs are sore. what is this? should i be worried?

Folliculitis: Usually this is due to folliculitis secondary to ingrown hairs. If they become swollen to seek medical attention. In the future you may want to consider laser hair removal.
