Greetings esteemed Nairalanders, please I need help with finding a remedy for these shaving bumps.
I first noticed them at the end of March 2025, after I shaved my pubic area, it was a bit scanty then, but after I shaved again yesterday, it seemed to have spread.

These bumps don't itch, neither are they painful. I have done all the necessary tests including "HIV, Syphillis, Gonorrhea, Herpes, HPV, Full blood count, Hepatitis (A,B &C), and even urine test, and all came out negative.

I've gone to see a doctor, and he placed me on antibiotics (ciprotab) for seven days, I'm currently on the third day. Please has anyone ever experienced this and are there topical creams/ointments that I can use to clear these bumps?

I'd appreciate your meaningful contributions/suggestions.

I can neither explain what happened nor proper a solution. May you find a solution soonest.

Shaving stick are not good for pubic regions. Use a clipper but don't set it to make the areas bald.

Why not finish the medication first, hopefully.

Don't use shaving stick again to shave your private that is cause of those blisters or bumps. Look for other alternative

It's called Pseudofolliculitis Pubis(Barbae), caused by the inflammation of the hair follicles as a result of cutting the hairs too low, especially with razor blades/shaving sticks.
When you cut the hairs too low, while trying to regrow, their sharp stumps impinges on your skin, causing a bump and inflammation of the overlying skin.

To prevent it, stop cutting to low with shaving sticks. Use clippers instead. Shave in the direction of the hairs, not against it, and don't pull the skin taut.
Then, apply a steroid cream(Hydrocortisone cream) immediately after shaving, and continue twice daily for at least 3days. Steroids will reduce/eliminate the inflammation.

Stop taking that Ciprotab because this is not an infection.
