Alright so lately i've been getting what
appears to be pimples on the inner part of
my legs, close to my private areas-mostly
along my underwear lines or farther down
my leg... I know it's not an std or
anything cause i've never had sex, but
they will pop up one at a time, and
they're worse around my period... It
could be an ingrown hair, but they appear
to be pimples. A red bump that can
sometimes be painful cause my underwear
will rub against it-i dont know how to
treat them or how to get rid of them, and
was just wondering if any of you had any
suggestions, or if anyone else has had
anything similar-so, if you have any
ideas, suggestions, are you have gotten
them too, please let me know-thanks bunch!
:d oh yeah-i clean very thoroughly with
a non-scented soap as well... If that
makes a difference to your replies...

Do you shave your bikini line? It sounds
to me like razor burn. I mean, underwear
rubbing is what makes me get razor burn in
the first place, and I get bumps too. If
you haven't had sex it would not be an
std. Try "bikini zone" or something of
the sort (if it could be from shaving) and
that is all the help I can give. Sorry!

Yeah I do shave my bikini line- what's
this "bikini zone" stuff you suggested?
Just something to help prevent it?
Thanks so much! I feel better knowing i'm
not the only one who has it...

I also find that wearing synthetic (nylon)
underwear is very irritating. Cotton
underwear is the most comfortable and less
irratating.

Bikini zone is at the store with like nair
and waxes and stuff like that. It is a
gel that soothes razor burn. There are
also other ones, one of the other posts
mentioned "coochie cream" and she said
that worked very well. So, you are just
going to have to kind of experiment with
different creams. And hey, if you do
find something that works, let me know!
