Bump question

About 6 days ago I noticed a bump on the inner part of my vagina. It was a pimple it popped and I can still feel it under the skin even though it's decreasing in size. My question is this bump came a few days after I shaved. Now I shaved again on Sunday and I have another one toward the upper part of my vagina exactly the same. I have done two things differently since the first time I shaved...I moved with new water, and changed shaving lotions. The doctor (over the phone) thinks it was an allergic reaction because I also indicated my legs have been somewhat itchy but just sporadically. The water at my previous residence was softened and I don't think the water here goes through any treatment and also the shaving cream stayed the same brand but different scent. Has anyone else experienced this. I doubt as the doctor said there is any chance in it being an STD but I find it strange I had two pop up after I shaved. It doesn't hurt expect when it wants to be popped and then it just goes back down and slowly disappears. I am confused. Please help thanks.

I believe you are right as well, just seems strange to me because they are noticable and annyoing i feel so self conscious, i'm sure any woman can relate that we don't want anything showing up that looks strange on that part of our body. It's always sobering to look at pictures of STD'S, it makes me reevaluate any actions or desires I have and keep me from acting in ways I probably shouldn't. My major concern was that of gential herpes but after looking at aboaut 30 pictures and reading symptoms I find it doubtful it is that. I have made an appt to be on the safe side.

Maybe you can answer this last question: With Herpes are they always in clusters and blister-like or do they ever take form of a pimple.

From what I saw last night, all were blistered extremely red, spoltchy and clustered. My "bumps" are not blistery, or splotchy just red like an ingrown hair would be.

Thanks again
