Shaved Hair From Pubic Area And Had Red Bumps. Had HPV. Could This Be Warts?
I shaved all the hair from my pubic area and discovered several red bumps that are round and red. They are not itchy or sore. Only one is raised and larger and they are located just on the mound. There are none in the vaginal area at all. I was diagnosed with HPV 10 yrs ago and have never had any symptoms. Could these be warts?

Hi after shaving pubic hair red bumps appeared on the skin can be only folliculitis due to embeddiment of hair inside the skin causing infection and inflammation.i think it has no relation to HPV u suffered 10 yrs back.this folliculitis can be treated by broad spectrum antibiotic and antiinflammatory agent combiflame.application of t-bact ointment on the lesion can cure it
