Scabs On Public Area, Reoccurring. Treatment?
i have many scabs on my pubic area that i think may be from shaving. they started out as bumps then soon evolved into spots of dry skin and then later turned into scabs. after i shower i dry off the area and the scabs fall off but then soon scab over again. sometimes they heal a little and form more dry skin. i dont know what the cause of this is for sure but if you could help it would be greatly appreciated.

They are due to repeated infection of hair follicles and the causative organism majority of time is the Bacteria Staphylococcus aureus . Use of topical anti-bacterial like Mupirocin Ointment and oral antibiotic together like Augmentin for days will cause eradication of the infection and will definitely help.
