A member asked:

I've revently shaved and the cream got on my libia & its swollen & also itches. what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Local treatment: Sounds like a local irritation or perhaps mild allergy. A small amount of a topical low potency steroid such as Hydrocortisone 1% - over the counter - and cool compress should help. These generally don't last long.
