A member asked:

I've recently shaved my pubic hairs and a couple of days later i've been experiencing a prickling poking sensation on my vulva especially on my clitoris and outer lips of my vagina. could it be from the hairs that are growing in?

Yes: Pubic hairs are curlier than most and tend to "turn around" when growing out of the skin to cause your pricking sensation.
