A member asked:

What can i put on my vagina and around anus after shaving regularly to avoid getting a yeast infection again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing: Shaving regularly raises the risk for a vaginal bacterial or hair follicle infection not a yeast infection. Simply thoroughly wash the vulva with an anti-bacterial soap post shaving, rinse and be done.
