Lets just say I know this friend who happens to have bumps on there genital area. They look like pimples What are they? I looked them up and I'm hopping they are not what I think they are. I know this person hasn't had sex in about 2 months. Just last week she noticed it. They look like Blisters. She did shave recently could it be from shaveing? could it be a reaction from that? Please don't tell me to tell her to go to a dr right now because she has no way to get up there right at this point...thats why I'm on here. She says that the blisters are trying to go away, its getting better. [sigh]
I don't know.

Pimples on the genital area.....hmmmm. Could be genital warts or genital herpes. If it was from shaving, it would be an ingrown hair, which could be a pimple. But, you are saying that they are pimplessss, as in multiples. Does it itch or burn??? That would be a tell tale sign of herpes. Genital warts usually don't burn or sting. Where exactly are they located? Don't give excuses about her not being able to get to the doctor. She can take the bus, get a ride, something.....and if it is a money issue, planned parenthood is always an answer. Get online and do a search on google, but do a photo search. See if you see anything that resembles what your friend has....Good luck!

okay well tell your friend they could be from several different things. it depends on how exactly they look and how long she's had them. first off it could be just a rash.. has she changed laundry detergents or soap lately? secondly it could be shave bumps or in grown hairs caused by shaving...that would look more like small pimples and the area may be a little swollen but when they pop they ooze white then bleed like pimples. third it could be genital warts or herpes these are stds that are incurable they look very gross and are very painful the best way to find out whats wrong is book an appointment w/ your doctor or gynecologist or if you want it to be private call your local health department and make an appointment for an std check up if you don't have any income its free but they have a privacy policy where they cant disclose any of your info to anyone well i hope you found this helpful

If they look like pimples.. they may be warts. Genital warts are caused by infections that stay for long periods of time and they last for a while before leaving. The thing about them is that they come back if infection reoccurs. If they are blister-like and pop on occasion, your friend may have herpes. I'm really sorry to say that there is no way to completely get rid of herpes. It will keep coming back (almost every month for women) and is for life. I'm hoping that your use of teh term blister was a mistake and that your friend doesn't have this horrible disease.
All teh best to you both

I shave my genital area on occasion and yes I've had pimples there before and also dealt with ingrown hairs so yes it's possible that it could be ingrown hairs.
As for issues with getting to the dr, does she have friends that can also help her get there in addition to the other suggestions given by one of the other posters?

it can b because of:
1. shaving
2. some infection
wait for a few days.
1. if its because of shaving, the bumps will remain the same size. they are actually in-grown hair. and they wont itch or anything
2. if those bumps are an infection, they will probably cause trouble to you. u will HAVE TO go n see a doctr. no matter WHAT. cz its ur body...!! u dnt wnt it 2 go bad, do u?

At worst, it's herpes, and 2months six her last trist is not long at all. Warts can take up to 8 to make their appearance and from what I understand, herpes can be fairly random. A checkup is best as it is ALLWAYS better safe than sorry.
Chances are it really is only rasor burn, but your friend should deffinantly look into getting to a doctor ASAP.

Sounds to me like herpes........... outbreaks will come and go........ it's not cureable, so not much a doc can do if she can't get there at this point, but there is a drug she can get when she CAN get to a doc that will reduce the frequency of outbreaks.
Sorry, but sounds like your worst fears are true. They don't necessarily appear right after sex, they can be dormant for some time and then show up later, so don't think that the "no sex for 2 months" thing is an excuse.

Sounds like herpes or genital warts. Or ingrown hairs.

They are probably an STD, i.e., genital warts or she either razor burned herself, but if they don't go away sounds like the former or an STD.
