Can i be experiencing a allergic reaction to shaving cream if i've had a lot of vaginal redness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, contact allergy: You may be allergic to a component of the shaving cream, such as the fragrance (most common), lanolin, or another chemical such as methlyparaben or propylparaben.
