What Causes Little Bumps On Pubic Hair?
I am curious what little red like bumps that feel rough to the touch are between my pubic hair and around my clitoris. I have been itching for the past few days and I just noticed the little bumps when I got out of the shower. My husband and I have been sexually active for the past two days and we do use protection.

Hi there.
I take it from your history that you are married & are sexually active.
Does your husband have similar itch & bumps?
It could be either an infection or an allergy to the latex in condoms most likely.
In the latter case, if your husband does not have any complaints, then the latex will not be bothering him. It may be an allergy to the shower products too.
In case of an infection, both of you will manifest symptoms & please get yourself checked by a dermatologist nearest you.
Remember to treat both partners & all your undergarments & fomites.
If you could, please upload a close-up view of the region digitally & we could take a peek & rule out any insects/parasites that may be a causative factor.
Good Luck & wish you both well. Cheers.
