Bumps in bikini area

[Evian260]

Hi everyone,

This is somewhat embarrassing, but since I've gotten pregnant, I've gotten more bumps on my inner thighs and by my butt area/where my underwear rub. I don't know if it's me gaining weight in that area or what but they're really bothering me! Is anyone else going through this? What do you do to help get rid of them? They're not zits it's just hard bumps.... Help!

It's partly weight gain and partly just happens. I get them all the time and they hurt. Before I got pregnant I was on some antibiotics that kept them under control but had to go off once I got pregnant and they came back.
If you shave, they'll be worse. If you like to keep things tidy down there, invest in an electric trimmer. It'll help keep the number of sores down.

Maybe thats what i've got all over my shoulders...they look like spots/zits but are extremley sore and sometimes itchy!

They only came up a week before my bfp...but look so unsightly!

Good to know, I do shave so that probably makes them worse... I'll invest in a trimmer of some kind, good idea! I always am so self conscious go to the gyno because she has to look at them! But she's never said anything so I'm assuming they're nothing to worry about.

If it bugs you that much, say something to your OB. She'll give you reassurance that they're nothing to worry about.
Walmart has a $10 trimmer and works really well. You just have to plug it in to charge about a day beforehand.
