Pubic hair?: Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is > several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented. Shave in direction of the hair – not against it. Be gentle when shaving – don’t push down too hard. Moisturize skin after shaving. Might need

Stop shaving: Let the hair grow out and the follicles drain. Keep the area clean and dry. This should resolve. See your doctor to see if you need an antibiotic. All the best.
