Question
Hi, i have red bumps, like pimples on the side of my vagina. i am still a virgin. i tried squeezing them and pus and blood came out. is it because i shaved my pubic area? it happens often after i shaved. i am too afraid to see a doctor, and yet i do not want to let my parents know. what should i do? it can't be an infection right?
Answer
You are 17 and can see the doctor in most states without your parents knowing. Please make an appointment and stop picking them - if the shaving causes it, it can get infected.
