A member asked:

After shaving pubic area, would applying coconut oil help prevent bumps, pimples and irritation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May help: Coconut oil may prevent irritation and gives soothing effect to shaved area ,but bumps and pimple may or may not come up . Keep the part clean and dry to lesson the chances of any infection to the area .See your doctor if you develop any pimples or bumps for evaluation .
