In some cases, these symptoms can also be a sign of sexually transmitted disease (STD). You may have symptoms in one area of skin and not the rest, even if you shaved the entire area at the same time. These symptoms can occur anywhere that you shave - your entire bikini area, on your labia, and even in the crease of your thigh. The bumps may feel as though they’re “burning” and be tender to the touch. You may also develop one or more red bumps. Razor burn will usually appear as a red rash. If you’ve recently shaved your vulva or labia - the exterior skin in the genital area - and have an unexplained itchiness, you might be dealing with razor burn.
Applying warm or cool compresses to the area and wearing loose, breathable clothing may help soothe any discomfort as you wait for the area to heal. Red bumps on the vaginal area after shaving may be a sign of razor burn.
