Antibacterial soap: You can try antibacterial soap but there is no magical treatment. If these are areas you shave, try applying an antiseptic before shaving.

Hair bumps: you can use an acne soap that isn't too drying, waxing may be better over shaving. a good razor is always best. avoid perfumed soaps and for shaving I recommend a shaving product called coochy. It is a shaving cream for the genitals and prevents hair bumps. Google it but make sure you google shaving lotion called coochy, not just the word
