Ouch: A steroid cream might be applied to decrease inflammation. For secondary infections your physician may recommend oral or topical antibiotics.Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is > several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented.

Shaving rash: I recommend having that looked at by your PCP to rule out & treat infection.
