One of them being my current g/f. Anyway, I decided to let the hair in my pubic region get too long between shaves. (For reference, the balls don’t get shaved. Just everything else in that area.) > > So I shaved the area as I always do. About 3 days later I notice these little bumps ALL over my region. They itched like fuck and sure as shit I thought I had an STD. So I went to the drug store and got medication for warts and started using it. Another week went by and it was only getting worse. The area was now COVERED in these little bumps and they were bright red at this point. So I wake up one morning about 2 weeks down the road now, with a 103 fever, sicker than all hell. There were huge open wounds on my scrotum and around the base of my penis. They were oozing white/yellow puss and hurt like you have no idea. It was bad. So I went to the ER. > > Every nurse I talked to told me it looked like a really bad case of herpes. So now I was really scared. Thinking, who knows what else I have. So i ran through all the tests, only to find out that I didn’t have ANY STD’s. The open sores and bumps were cause from an infection called Foliculitis. Which is when in a recently shaved area, ALL of the hair follicles get infected. The infection got so bad, it spead to my scrotum and into my bloodstream causing the severe fever/nausia. I had to stay two nights btw. > > SO the good that came out of that situation was a bottle of 1000MG Hydro’s, and the knowledge to know that shaving down there is not worth the risk. Now I just trim it short and that does the job. dude… i have no words to describe the nausea im feeling after reading that. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/shaving-accident-this-morning/249057)._
