Ouch!: Shaving the pubic area is now very common, but it is not without challenges. There is itching, nicks, and possible folliculitis: staph infection of the hair follicle presumably caused by hairs regrowing and curling back around to irritate the skin. Razor burns can often be helped with aloe vera. Bumps may be helped by warm baths and OTC cortisone cream applied 2-3 times per day. Avoid shaving.
