I have shaved the same way with the same products for years..down there. and today immediately after I started kind of noticing an itcy feeling and then looked and my whole pubic area was inflamed with not really bumps, more like hives. I am so confused and havent been able to find any answers online please help! its not terribly painful, but it looks awful and is just really uncomfortable.
Hi seems like you have developed an allergic reaction to some components used for shaving the area. This kind of allergy can develop to any cream, gel, ointment or lotion used during the procedure. Such an allergy can develop anytime to anyone. Even if you're using the same products since years, still there is a possibility that you can develop allergy to any of the components anytime... So first, I would advise you to refrain from using anything like detail, salon or any oils over the area. You can apply something like calamine lotion which can be soothing, and you will need to take some oral antiallergic medications. If it doesn't settle down still, consult a skin specialist for proper assessment and management. Hope it helps Chat Doctor.
