I feel this may sound silly but...i shaved my pubic hairs but now my private area is really ashy looking. what can i do about that?

Lotion: The skin may simply be irritated from shaving. You can apply some lotion to the outside and see if that helps. If you do not like the appearance then the hair will grow back soon.
