Whiteheads "down there"?

Hiya, I have a bit of a problem - whenever I shave/veet/wax my bikini line, a few days later I end up with little whiteheads where my skin rubs against my underwear... :confused:

anyone else get this? and does anyone know any ways of stopping it happening?

Could be ingrown hairs. Try moisturising, only shaving after shower/bath, blah blah blah. Cue the more knowledgeable females correcting me.

Haha, I am so funny. Just be sure to moisturise the area a lot.

yeh sounds like ingrowing hairs. moisturising wil prob be best. sometimes also not shavin for a while helps the hairs to grow out, then you can start again

You could always just not shave. I never get ingrowing hairs or anything.

Or maybe Pearly Vaginal Papules (sweat glands)

But probably hair folicles.

ingrown hairs or shaving rash. for me, it helps slightly if i exfoliate down there before i shave/wax. put moisturiser there after you remove the hairs for a few days. a really unorthodox cure is buy some nappy rash cream. it was reccomended to me to use on my healing tattoo but turns out it works down there too :p:
