Not uncommon -: especially once the hairs begin to grow back. 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. Consider a steroid cream decrease inflammation. Better yet, why just stop shaving your pubic area.

It's not really my abdomen, further in to my pelvis around my vagina. I had gone to my doctor about it a couple months ago and she said it was a yeast infection so we got that treated and it lasted for a little bit. Started itching and burning again.

Itchy upper body, mainly on left side? The itching is inside of my body. There is no rash. The itching goes from my arm, under and around the breast, and all the way to my pelvis.
