I have a bump down in my vaginal area. I went to doctor awhile back because of the problem and she tested me for all the STD and said that I didn't have anything. But on occassion I still get a bump down there. Puss will come out like the first day and them after that it just hurts till it goes away. My doctor said its from shaving. could it be something else?

Completely possible....

Pseudofolliculitis barbae - otherwise known as razor bumps

Ingrown hairs and infection of the hair follicles.

If it helps, I get one that keeps coming up! It gets really sore and then pops, apparently it is an ingrowing hair! I now use Veet hair removal cream instead of razors!! My friend has the same thing down to shaving against the hair with a razor! Hope that helps! x x

now it is just a bump there and bleeds. it has been there for about two weeks now. Do they usually stay that long
