Is it possible for razor bumps to scab over/become infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Folliculitis: Sure, this happens all the time in the modern era of pubic area shaving. It's called shaving folliculitis. Stop shaving for a couple of weeks and keep the area clean. If it doesn't clear up, see a doctor for a possible antibiotic prescription.
