Is this normal?? (Personal pic warning)

Question

I usually always shave so idk if my skin is irritated but these red bumps are scaring me like crazy. I also currently have a yeast infection (found out today 😠) so could it be bc of that? Or does it look like something more serious is going on? They're huge though!! I feel like they're too big to be razor bumps? And I haven't shaved in over a week
Ok so I deleted the pics thank you guys all so much for your help. I got really scared for a sec lol I didn't know if razor burn like that was normal or not!!

Answer

I used to get bumps like that when i shaved. But to prevent it:
1) i used shaving cream to shave. And then after i shave, i apply shaving cream again for about 5 minutes, then rinse it off. Applying the shaving cream again helps to leave a film of it on the skin so it isn't scraped off by the razor. Try using extra moisturizing shaving cream.
2) I always make sure i have sharp, CLEAN razor blades. And i rinse it thoroughly after each use. Having unclean or dull razors can infect any "micro cuts" you may be getting. If you already do this, you're already one step ahead of the game 👍
3) Once im out of the shower, after i dry off the first thing i do is rub coconut oil wherever i shaved. This gives even more hydration to your irritated skin. I've noticed that if i skip the coconut oil afterwards, it's alot more itchy and i actually get razor burn. They sell coconut oil in grocery stores. I reccomend organic. If you can't buy coconut oil, you can try a thin layer of vaseline or try to find a "vagina friendly" lotion to use wherever you shaved.
If the rash stays there, gets worse, or spreads, I'd recommend seeing a doctor about it. Best of luck 💕

Answer

razor bumps, moisturize and gently exfoliate with fragrance free lotions! If they itch you can get hydrocortisone cream from the drugstore that should relieve it. To prevent it happening be sure to use a fresh sharp razor every time you shave and go slow to avoid the little nicks that can happen without noticing!

Answer

They're razor bumps. Nothing to be scared of.
