Folliculitis?: Pubic area folliculitis is often triggered or made worse by shaving, but shaving sometimes has nothing to do with it. Your skin might be colonized with staph or strep, for example. Discuss with your doctor: an antibiotic cream might help, or even an antibiotic by mouth. Good luck!

Genital bumps: A picture would be helpful but maybe folliculitis so apply topical antibiotic and see if helps
