Question 1

i shaved with a razor now i am breaking out in my pubic area?

Accepted Answer

Razor Burn: First aid treatments
hydrocortisone cream reduces inflammation and itching and can help ease razor-burn symptoms. Apply a thin layer and use sparingly because it does contain steroids, which can thin the skin if used too often. Another first aid treatment that works to relieve razor burn and bumps quickly is aloe, which is commonly used to cool and treat sunburns and kitchen burns.
