A Prickly Situation

[drlove]

I shaved my nether regions on Saturday. Only problem is, now the entire area is ultra sensitive and I keep getting pricked by the stubble. On top of that I've got razor burn along with a few nicks here and there, and now I have to wait until they heal before I can see an SP again. Any idea on how long it will take until everything gets back to normal down there??

I've been using moisturizing lotion as well as Polysporin 'heal fast' cream. However, tomorrow will be day number three, and I doubt everything will heal magically overnight.

Next time shave the hair in the direction that it grows and not against it!

No razor burn no ingrowns.....shave with cream and use a fresh razor.

Remeber boys and gals your lower region cannot be shaved like you shave your face or your legs. Samanthaxo

Go to Sears or Bay , Elizabeth Arden counter. Ask for Eight Hour Cream. Years ago, before the FDA, it was used in hospital burn units. Healing starts, as the name implies, within 8 hours. It really is a miracle cream and although a bit greasy if appiled with warm water it will absorb quickly.

That's why I use an electric razor....the Braun self-cleaning models....I've never nicked myself with it. I had razor burn at first, but never a nick. You received good advice in shaving in the direction in which your hair grows. Good luck!

Hope that helps. And it can be used in the shower.

Try using a little diaper-rash ointment such as Penetan cream to soothe the area after you shower, and use a loofah gently when you bathe to prevent ingrown hairs. BTW, the best shaving cream out there is Nivea sensitive shave gel for men..it works great everywhere!

does anybody wax?

Dr. Love is ominously quiet. Maybe still in that bath of Epsom salts?

Go to Shoppers Drug Mart. Tell them your girlfriend sent you for Bikini Zone.

Does Shopper's Drug Mart carry 8 hour cream as well?? Things are a bit better down here, but not much. Still itchy and sore. How long will it take for the scabs to fall off?? I want to get back to hobbying!
