'Down there' question

Ok, I have a bit of an embarrassing problem and was wondering if anyone else gets this as well. I seem to get 'spots' (kinda like whiteheads on yr face) down there and I'm a bit worried about it as to whether its normal or not!! I don't get loads, just the odd one now and again but they seem to last for quite a while. Can anyone tell me if they get them as well?
(I'm a girl btw)

are you shaving? i.e. might just be infected hair follicle...in which case yes it's normal.

well, I usually get a brazillian and I get dreadful ingrown hairs and I did wonder whether it was something like an infected hair follicle but I tend to get them in the bit that doesn't get waxed so it couldnt be that. I wondered if I might have an STI but I dont know of any that produce things like that?

if you think you could be at risk of having an STI anyway, then get checked out..
it's possible to get spots anywhere on your body really so it's entirely feasible that it's just that and nothing more sinister
