See a dermatologist: Probably a small furuncle - irritated hair follicle- due to shaving or other hair removal.

Red bumps: If you shave your bikini area, this could be folliculitis. The skin could be irritated and infected due to using the same razor repeatedly.

I have pea-sized, extremely itchy bumps that started on the soles of my feet a couple of days ago, and seem to be spreading to my calves. On my feet they seem to be grouped up, but not on my legs. My skin is dry but lotion doesn't seem to help.
