A member asked:
Can shaving genitals cause swelling of the area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But the cause is usually, but not always a common cause. An ingrown hair from shaving is a common cause of localized swelling. A small cut from shaving can become infected and cause swelling and pain.
