Does toothpaste get rid of pimples?
Toothpaste dries out pimples, which can cause them to go away faster. However, toothpaste can also "burn" your skin if left on too long or applied to heavily. Use a pimple cream instead.
Bio - oil is a special oil that can be purchased at a chemist that apparently helps for stretch marks and other blemishes.
If your talking about large bumps that are unlike shaving bumps then these could be caused by excess moisture in that area. They hurt worse than a pimple and stay a bit longer. I have yet to find a quick fix for them but to prevent them I use powder safe for the vaginal area several times a week.
You should see a doctor. Good luck and God Bless:)

Is it safe to use benzoyl peroxide acne treatment when pregnant?
I use a prescription benzoyl peroxide gel called Triaz. I generally apply it to my face every night and have been using it for years to treat mild acne. I asked my doctor when I first began trying to get pregnant, and she said it was fine to continue using it. The literature that comes with the Triaz says to consult your doctor if you become pregnant (big help right?). I did some online research and found that problems in pregnancy have not been documented from the use of benzoyl peroxide, but that some manufacturers recommend pregnant woman don't use it unless it is considered essential. I am going to continue using it when/if I get pregnant because I do not feel there's a high risk and I haven't found anything else that keeps my skin blemish-free. Hope this helps!
