What is it?

[Arizonadream]

i shaved down there ( you know what i mean) and after i got all of these red bumps and blisters around there. its like a rash i have gotten sometimes after swimming, but this time after i shaved. this is a little embarissing to ask by the way, but i am not sexually active, im still a virgin so i think i can rule out Herpes. it kind of itches and kind of hurts, its just like a rash. anybody know what im talking about?

maybe its the razor i shave every other week when i first started shaving i broke out and iched so i tried a different brand of razor and a unsented soap have not had another problem

when i shave i start at the bottom and do it side 2 side and that seems 2 work forme! dont tend to get any rashes! but when it grows bk it itches like mad!

i allways had this problem, the trick is to use a good slimy soap or shave gel and do not shave upwards towards your head but shave sideways, for the left side start in the center and shave outwards, and the other way for the right side. :) dont shave against your grain

Just like the other said, it's most likely just a rash from shaving.  Use a gentle soap and it will clear up.  Next time you shave, if you decide to again, make sure you use a shaving cream, just like you do for legs, try to make sure it doesn't have dye's or scents though, as it could be a reaction to that as well.

don't shave down there. i use veet senstive for that area it works...
for bumps u got u can apply any antiseptic cream o outer part

It is simply a shaving rash... whenever I used to shave "down there" i got it, and it was so itchy and uncomfortable. So I don't shave anymore, I just trim.
As Samii89 said you will probably get it everytime you shave there, however, if you can deal with it, and wish to continue shaving, it should get easier with time :)

Ok, so I agree with what samii said partially.  

Yes, we're given hair down there for a reason.  It's likely just a rash from the trauma to your hair follicles when shaving.  Beware, as your hair grows back in you'll also get bumps kind of like pimps..... these will be ingrown hair.

To be honest, I hate this process and so rather than dealing with a huge bush... I typically trim the front portion as short as possible and then shave between.  For me I feel 'cleaner' and like I have better hygiene (but it's a personal decision).  

I know people who always shave down their completely bare (my sister does).   She had the same issues when starting.  However, after doing it for awhile they went away.  She no longer has any rash or even the bumps of ingrown hair.  I won't say 100% that you will be this way IF you wish to continue shaving.. but that's what I've been told.

its because you're not meant 2 shave down there and it is very sensitive there! u will get it every time u shave there
