Shaving and Red Bumps

[nickster349]

I shave all of my pubic hair, and usually do so just about every time I shower. I always end up having some red bumps and razor burn after doing this. The bumps and slight rash is almost always there no matter if I use a fresh razor, put lotion on after etc., It at times can also itch. It has never really been all that bothersome to me, but can be an annoyance, but the problem is that I recently found out I have HSV2. I am taking all of the precautions for that, am on daily anti viral medication, use condoms, etc etc, and am in a monogomous relationship in which he is aware I have it, but does not himself. We are very careful and I just want to make sure I am doing everything to keep him safe. How do I know the difference between this being just razor burn and things like I have had for so long, or a possible outbreak?? And does anyone have any suggestions on how to shave without this happening, or to make it better?

You should try using this new stuff called Veet. It is like Nair except not as painful! It was help you not get razor burn!
