Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely follicullitis.It occurs in hair follicles mostly after shaving or after accumulation of sweat and dirt.In such case i advise washing with warm water or saline and application of betadine ointment.In some cases i advise antibiotics also.If abscess is there then incision and drainage is advised.You can get rid off that by keep the area clean and when you shave-to go in one direction.I also recommend to use intimate wash regularly to keep vagina also in PH balance and refrain from pathogenic bacteria.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
