A member asked:

Hard painful lump on mons pubis. im only 17.. could it be from shaving?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly, yes: If you inadvertently nicked the skin when shaving and bacteria entered into the hair follicle, an infection could have occurred causing the "lump" Have a MD check the area if it persists.
