I have to agree, it sounds like ingrown hairs.

because of the shaving cream or gel. you should wash and scrub good after you shave somewhere.

Sounds as if you may have periodontal disease.  Get in to see your dentist as soon as possible for an evaluation and necessary treatment.  Also, make sure you have good oral hygiene by brushing 2-3 times per day and flossing at least once per day and always see your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and exam.  The more you brush and floss you will notice your gums begin to stop bleeding.  Hopefully you only have the first stage of gingivitis which is reversible with a good cleaning at your dental office so that tarter can be removed and with good oral hygiene maintenance.  Additional treatment will be needed for more advanced stages of periodontal disease.

Sounds like a really bad case of gingivitis to me.   You probably needs to rinse with a salt water solution several times a day.  Use a soft tooth brush.  See your dentist again.

If they are white then they are white spots(seriously thats what they are called)which are blocked pores. Exfoliate a couple of times a week,but don't do it too hard cos it'll make your skin sore.

2 things....it might be a furuncle....which is a bacterial infection of the little hairs growing out of your skin there....many people get them right above their buttcrack......which leads me to the other thing...you should see a Dr. and gets some antibacterial meds for it :)

Do you rub your chin or sit with your hand in front of your mouth a lot? It could be just that you're sweating a lot around that area and that is why the outbreaks of spot.\n\nIf there are other symptoms such as excess growth of facial hair, it could be an indicator of polycystic ovaries. If you're worried, get it checked out by your doctor.

I have a little of it too. I have no idea why it's there, but to get rid of it for good, the best way would be to get laser hair removal. It might be a little expensive, but hey, it'll keep guys from walking away!

I know exactly what you have - they're ingrown hairs. Everyone will really curly hair is a candidate for this.\n\nIf - by any chance - you have naturally curly hair on your head (!) you're likely to get ingrown hairs anywhere you've shaved on your body. They DO look and feel like pimples. But not to worry - it's not a disease. It's just that folks with curly hair (wherever it is!) have spiral shaped hair follicles and when we shave, either too aggressively or with a bad razor, we're prone to ingrown hair. You can try a depilatory cream (go for the best and unscented), but they're a mess. Waxing will most definitely cause the same problem as your razor and unless you're into pain, that method is just plain nuts....\n\nMe - I'm saving up for laser hair remove.

Well Ashley, I can tell you that I had/have something similar to that. See a doctor. Do you have any excess facial or sideburn hair!? Sometimes it can be a sign of a hormonal disorder. Talk with a doctor, there is a medicine you can take that will help with clearing things up a bit. Good luck!

It could be the deoderant. If you are female (can't quite tell from your name) then it might also be due to shaving armpits. I found the Dove deo/antiperspirant really helped eliminate the ugly red look from my armpits. Shave with a new, clean razor every time.

Stop shaving for a few days and see if the bumps disappear. If they don't, and if you have a reason to suspect that you have an STD, contact a doctor.

It would be more helpful to have a better description,but it could possibly be small boils,pimples,excess oil in your hair or excessive sweating may contribute to pimples there. The other person that said ingrown hairs is correct also. And it could possibly be eczema or psoriasis too. If it is bothersome,get it checked out by a dermatologist.

Actually, the lower jaw is the most common place for oral cancer, in particular the lateral border of the tonge or under the tongue. White bumps could be a lot of things but most likely not a cancer. It could possibly be a pre-cancer (oral leukoplakia), a candidiasis (yeast), an ulceration from a burn, dermoid cysts, or a lot of other things. See your dentist so he can take a look at it.

It most likely is some type of infection.  Since you shave that area - it may be a staph infection.  Staph is becoming much more prevalent than it used it be.  It used to be found only in hospitals.  \n\nI had some bumps like that  and one of them turned into a cyst that got very swollen.  I went to the Doctor and sure enough - it was a Staph infection.  If you wait to long it can get into your bloodstream and make you very very sick.  I had to have a little minor surgery on mine to cut it out.   I wish I'd hadn't had been so embarrassed and went in as soon as it started bothering me.  \nSo go to the Doctor ASAP and have it looked at - they see stuff like this all the time.  \n\nYou also may be allergic to Latex.  Latex is in a few brands of pads.  I'd get tested for a latex allergy as well.\n\nBest wishes to you for feeling better soon!
