Vulvar "bumps": Hair follicle "bumps"(folliculitis) can be caused by many hygiene issues including things that "go bump" in the dark of night or tight "non breathing" underwear or pads that keeps "bumping" into the vulva trapping bacteria. Shaving can also contribute to "bumps". Wash the vulva with dove, caress or ivory, eliminate tight clothing, clean "both parties" before intercourse and and problem "smoothed".
