A member asked:

Hey i shave down in my male parts i think i got ingrown hairs a b thry kinda hurt what should i do?

Folliculitis: First- STOP SHAVING and THROW AWAY YOU OLD RAZOR. You can use a thin layer of Neosporin ointment and I would advise disposable razors after this clears up ( at least 7-10 days). If not improved see your dermatologist.
