Ingrown hairs: Shaving in the genital area can often cause ingrown hairs and small "pimples" or abscesses. To completely prevent them stop shaving your labia! You can use warm compresses and/ or gentle loofah exfoliation to control ingrown hairs if you continue to shave.

Pimple : Could be infection from shaving or irritation but you really need a healthcare provider to see it to know for sure
