spots down there *graphic*

pretty sure its with the grain lol.

ok so i shaved off all me pubes (twas a dare) and it was fine, when it started growing back it got itchy so i did it again only this time red bumps started appearing. after a day they had become like spots on your face with the white bit on top and they werent going away so i squeezed one and puss came out of it but it didnt go away, normally spots do after a day or so. so i squeezed it again only this time some hair came out of it (two or three strands) which was noticably longer than the ones around it (at least a cm longer), still attached to my skin around the spot (definately wasnt there before). it was as if they had come out of the spot. so im guessing ingrowing hairs? anyone else have/had this problem? how do you prevent this happening? anything else you can tell me? etc thanks.

*beats about the noggin with rolled-up Independent on Sunday*

No. No.

that is an ingrown hair, someone hasn't been exfoliating...

Sounds as if someone didn't do any research! If you dry shave, don't moisturise or exfoliate it is very common to get ingrown hairs in the pubic region. You need to

1) Take a long, hot bath. This will soften the course hairs and allow for easier removal.
2) Use a mild shaving creme or gel designed for use down there. Don't just slap any old one on or you could be hopping around the room in pain.
3) Shave (with a fresh, sharp razor) in the direction of hair growth. Avoid constantly running the razor oveer the same area because this will irritate the skin. Try and shave an area in 2 or 3 short strokes.
4) Clean and then gently exfoliate your skin with a sponge or soft loofah to remove anything clogging the pores.
5) Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. My personal favorite is Johnsons Baby Oil with Aloe Vera & Vitamin E (green capped bottle).
6) Continue to wash & moisturise your pubic region every day. It helps remove oils and sweat and makes it much less likely to get clogged pores and ingrown hairs.

Another thing which I found when I first started shaving is that first timers will often get a few itchy, red bumps because the skin there is sensitive and needs times to adjust to being shaved. Shaving once a week is enough for your first month. You may think that re-shaving and keeping the hair super short will prevent ingrown hairs, but the best way is to exfoliate, moisturise and take the time to shave properly.

you're meant to exfoliate your pubic region?

What about when he wants to grow it back?

It'll be itch city.
