Pimple : Such changes can occur in many different parts of the body. Of course, there are many other possibilities (e.g. Inflammed lymph nodes). Bartholin's gland cysts (although not in the classic location) is yet another possibility. Sitz baths (soaking the perineum in a shallow pan/bucket of warm water with a touch of epsom salt for about five minutes daily) can sometimes decrease any symptoms.

Itchy bumps: It still could be ingrown hairs even if you didn't shave there. Try hot compresses on it before bed. If it's just itchy and not painful, you can put a little over-the-counter Hydrocortisone cream on them for a couple of days to lessen the symptoms. Your doctor should be able to figure this one out for you quickly by seeing it.

Most often yeast: Itching is almost always a yeast infection until proven otherwise. You can try some otc treatment---any vaginal anti-fungal will do. If that doesn't work, then consider making an appointment with your doctor to have the lesions or bumps looked at as you wouldn't want to miss a std. Best wishes.
