If you recently shaved, It's probably razor burn/ingrown hair. I used too get it really bad when I was young. It would show up after the hair started growing back (a couple days later).

Tell your mom....She probably got it too. Of course I can't be 100% sure, but that's what it sounds like. If you can, look at it close and see if you can see a hair in it.... Trust me, tell your mom. That's what they're there for!

I found this on Ingrown Hair - Bikini Line Hair - Cosmopolitan.com


"Ingrown hairs occur when a new hair curls and grows back into your skin instead of spurting out of it, causing what will look like a dark, clogged pore. The best remedy is to exfoliate the area regularly, using a slougher that contains salicylic acid or glycolic acid to shed the skin that's trapping the hair, says Jamie Ahn, owner of Acqua Beauty Bar in New York City. To reduce your chances of having more ingrowns, be sure to switch your razor blade often and always shave your bikini area in the direction of the hair's growth. A great topical treatment for ingrowns is Tend Skin Liquid, $20."

They kind of look like a painful pimple

Don't worry about it. I get bumps too after shaving and stuff. Just make sure you wash your genital area properly after shaving and make sure your shaving right.
