Pain rubbing on few spots on upper vulva
Greetings
I didn't trim or shaved since a month which is normal but today on 3 to 4 spots on the upper vulva/mins pubis I noticed sharp or pricking pain(sharpness due to hair I think) or irritation only when I rub on those spots and they are mild red/ light pink than surrounding skin and localised around hair follicles. What could it be? I applied coconut oil just now and using candid cream helps? Appreciate your response.

The first diagnosis is folliculitis.
Please clean yourself nicely and consult a Gynaecologist or a General Physician for a physical examination and further management.

Its folliculitis (tiny bumps arounds hair follicles)
Dnt apply coconut oil, not good on oily skin like on private parts. Oil will clog pores and causes more bumps.
Maintain private part hygiene, u need to follow those steps
Next Steps
keep that area moisture free and sweat free
Health Tips
warm wash and cut hair (not shave)
