I shaved down there it hurts now.

[TheFame]

I shaved my pubes. At first it was fine. Then it got all these red bumps which i know are ingrown hair from research. But now when i touch any part where theres hair it feels like 40 sharp hairs are stabbing me and it kiills!

If keep shaving will it stop doing this? Or should i just trim nextime?


and by the way i shaved with cream and used aftershave cream (:

trim first (if long hair) and use shaving creme, or something soapy.

but i dont see why u need to shave in the first place... i dont shave, and its kinda in style ( i think ) : /

[SneakBrain]

that is weird usually that doesnt happen but i think maybe you scratch it too hard maybe.

When you are shaving you are irritating the skin, but unlike the face, it is extremely sensitive. When you shave you have to be EXTREMELY careful first off. The best way is to actually buy product that are designed for this kind of shaving. I know this would be really strange to ask your parents, so I doubt that you would, hence the whole no answer But even with these products, I cant guarantee you wont get itchy or anything.

And in case you are wondering, the itchiness and the bumps you may get are not STDs or anything. This is called razor burn and it happens with irritated skin. It will go away after a while (usually a longer while, but still). Don't worry too much, just use lotion and stuff to help the itchiness. There are loads of websites (not all clean mind you) that tells proper ways of shaving down there and what products.

Hope that helps!


^^^ By me :)

I dont think it is "in style" as much as people's personal opinion.

yeah in season(swimming team season) i will shave all the time to keep from itching. somtimes i lit it grow back and just trim it short but if you shave once and dont want to itch you have to keep doing it

[Jcat3]

I just let the bumps go away and not touch them

Whatever you do, dont burst them! They will get worse!

First time I shaved, the sensitivity on my pubic area was really terrible but after I shaved frequently when it grows, gets normal.

But yes, if you have bushes, trim it first, then slowly add cream onto it, shave it properly and wash it. Take your time in the bathroom and sit down. There's no need to be rushy unless you have ONE toilet to share with many family members :P

Well it really wont go away. You don't grow hair down there for no reason. You have allot of testosterone when in puberty, and that mixed in with the fact that shaving makes hair grow thicker, faster and harder to shave, you are better off trimming. I suggest letting it grow back out, and keep it attractively trimmed.

Hope this helps. :)

Trim trim trim trim! Pure shaving your pubes rarely end up working out okay. Try using scissors, or if you can buy a body trimmer @ target or something. I have a remmington hair body trimmer/groomer from there. it's awesome.

as i swimm and shave alot i kno what that feels like u gotta put some shaving oil to soothe that area and thatll help ya

Hydrocortisone will help with the ingrown hairs now. In the future, remember to shave with a sharp razor, shave with the grain, and treat the area carefully and you won't have too many problems when shaving. But to a certain extent, it's inevitable.
