I don't know if any guys can relate but, last night I saw a lot of bumps on my boyfriend legs that look like pimples, white heads, ingrown hairs, he doesn't shave is that normal? Has that happened to anybody before? I mean I get them sometimes but, cause I shave...
Suggestions? Could it be something else?

did you ask him if he knows what it is, if he has had it before and if so on any other part of his body. also, do they itch.
if it is not ingrown hairs, etc, could be a bacterial infection. try an over the counter anti-biotic.
if it is just irritated skin, treat with over the counter 1% cortisone cream. if it also itches, could be hives and the cortisone will help with that too.
no matter what, if it is close to his genitals, get a herpes test, esp while the bumps are still present. there just isn't any point at all in taking a chance and i'm pretty sure the local health dept would do it cheap or free if he doesn't have a regular doctor.
unless you think he has lied to you, give him the benefit of the doubt but get him tested before you have sex again.

I got identified with genital herpes (type 2) about 4 yrs ago, whilst I was still attending college and had a mindless one-night stand. I realize lots of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone who has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/V8W1a everything improved.
Not only was I able to eliminate all remnants of the herpes simplex virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

I get them in the same place on my legs and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get rid of them, I think that it's just something that some men get, as long as it's not causing a lot of pain or getting really infected I wouldn't worry about it.

do you mean he does not shave his legs? In my country it is normal for men not to shave their legs! unless they are swimmers or cyclists of olympian standard or hope to get their soon! Seriously, what age is he, maybe normal, may not be, but if not getting infected then would not worry about it too much.

There could be an irritation to soap or body wash he is using. Or he could of shaved just once and got them

I just heard today that if you do alot of work in Blue jeans that can also cause this. I just recently had this happen to me so I'm looking into it as well.

i have them too. i am a constuction worker and wear fairly tight blue jeans on a regular basis. this is common because the jeans wear on the hair and cause it to grow inward, epecially on the outer calf.
