Ways to reduce itchiness after shaving pubes

WoollyRedHat · 08-10-2014 9:52pm #1

I did a stupid thing, got carried away and ended up shaving pubes when I should of just trimmed the. It's 24 hours and the itchiness is already unbearable, can anyone recommend products/methods to reduce itchiness as much as possible, and how long does it commonly last for.. as long as it takes for the hair to grow back? Don't think I could hack even another day without some kind of relief, I shaved it close enough to the stub. Have tried a loofa to exfoliate so far, wearing loose clothing, have used vaseline and moisturerzer (does it matter which one) and hoping these will have some affect. Help

Over the counter hydrocortisone cream?

You need to get one of them plastic bags that lazy people wear in the gym so your fun area will keep sweating and keep moist. Moist = no itch

Little help now but in future, dont wet shave it. If you use a beard trimmer you can get it nice and short but not have to worry about discomfort with regrowth.

Either that or get your plums waxed rather than shaving.

In the short term try some moisturiser for very sensitive skin, something by Dove or Simple is probably best, the last thing you want is something with alot of chemicals/perfumes in it to aggravate the problem.
