A member asked:

Itchy skin in pubic hairs area, i used to shave but stopped because it used to irritate skin.... what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop shaving: If you are seeing itchy red bumps in the pubic area, you may be causing folliculitis ( inflammed hair follicles) you can try to stop the itching using a thin layer of 1% Hydrocortisone cram; however you must stop saving for 1-2 weeks and throw your old razor away. See your gyn if itching persisits in the next 7-10 days.
