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

Various methods: Hair around your vagina could be removed by any means used to get rid of hair in other areas. Things like shaving, depilatories, electrolysis, and laser hair removal are some of the methods available.
