What Causes Bump On Labia Post Shaving?
hi, I am 22 years old and I am sexually active. I am african american and i shave my labia. I dont like the natural look. I have a bump that is under the skin on my labia. I have plucked all of the hairs out of it but it does not have a head for me to pop it. I know that it is not an std because I had an std test at the beginning of april and I have only one partner who has been my partner for the last 3 years. I am also his only partner. Could you tell me the best way to get rid of this bump.

Hello dear,welcome to HCM forum.
This may indicate beginning of a boil/folliculitis.
After confirming the diagnosis,this can be treated with antibiotics and analgesics for a few days.Your doctor will guide in this.
To avoid frequent recurrence,clean the area before shaving with soap and water,and use after shave lotion.
Hope this answer will help.
Thank you.
