    Question

    I have recently had a brazilian, and the other night i got fingered. i now have itchy red bumps on my pubic area, and the one looks like it has turned into a pimple/whitehead. is this an ingrown hair infection or herpes?

    Answer

    I am so sorry, but chances are good the bumps are a complication of the waxing, and if you are worried, see your doctor.
