Outbreak around genital area
Hello, good day. I’ve been experiencing an outbreak around my genital area. It started after my latest shaving session. I’m sure this is not herpes or other types of STIs but it scares me. I don’t feel itchy, and some of the outbreak has turned into dark colour. Is it just pimples?

Hello! Thank you for your question.
You have asked us regarding the outbreak around your genital area. We will try to help you with that.
When you shave an area of your skin that’s normally under your clothing, fabric can rub up against your clean-shaven skin and make the irritation feel even worse. Scented soaps and harsh chemicals used on your skin prior to shaving can also irritate or dry out your skin.
If the outbreak gets worse or sensation of itching intensifies then you will have to seek a doctor to be examined and for further treatment.
We hope you are satisfied with our answer.
