A member asked:

What is the easyest way to prevent bumps and rashes when you shave the pubic area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not easy: Shaving bumps result from shaving too closely and get irritation(rash) and hair bumps. Can be worsened by clothing irritation(underwear line). Best solution may be light/laser hair removal.
