ok im a bloke.... but can only shave twice a week because i have sensitive skin...i use king of shaves jel, the pale blue one for sensitive skin, has tea tree oil, aloe vera, and vit E in it, use plenty of water and it gets very slimy, the blade glides through it giving a clean shave with no chaffing of the skin... rinse well after shaving and PAT dry dont rub.....worth a try.

Yup, that's a shaving rash, which means you have sensitive skin down there, which means that shaving is a REALLY bad idea. Most likely in a few days you will notice that (to be blunt) that area stinks. The hair allows for good air circulation, so hairless people don't evaporate sweat normally, which leads to a ripe odor and more skin irritation. Keep your hair very clean, but keep it!

Sounds like you're simply chafing a bit.  Try chapstick before and after (during might be a little awkward and unromantic), and make sure he's freshly shaved.*\n\n\n\n*Make sure you're freshly shaved too.  Guys really, really, like that.

If you want an old fashioned home remedy that truly works, rub cornstarch in your armpits. No joke it really works. When you do shave use a shaving lotion and sharp razor.

best time is when you take a bath, your skin is warm and soft less irritation from the blade.. use a shaving cream and shave in the direction the hair is growing. it's works for me.

Shave carefully\n\nShaving is a common and inexpensive way to remove unwanted hair. But shaving can cause skin irritations, especially if your skin is thin, dry or very sensitive. For a smooth shave:\n\nPress a warm wash cloth on your skin before shaving to soften the hair. Or shave after a warm bath or shower. \nDon't shave dry skin, which can cause razor burn. Apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving to protect and lubricate your skin. \nUse a clean, sharp razor. If using an electric razor, don't use the closest setting, which can irritate the skin. \nShave in the direction of hair growth, not against it. \nRinse your skin afterwards with warm water. \nIf irritation does occur, apply a lotion that doesn't contain ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. Though alcohol and alcohol-based products may feel cooling, they don't really soothe irritated skin because the alcohol evaporates rapidly from the skin.

I think shaving is the easiest.  Try doing it in a hot shower after you've been in it for a few minutes.  That will soften the hair and make the skin more able to tolerate the razor.  After you're done be sure to moisturize.  I use neosporin on my skin after shaving.  It sounds strange, but it was a tip I read on the internet and it's the best thing that ever happened to my sensitive skin.

I agree with mslisa 100%.\nTry using a Jergens lotion, one of them is specialized for creating finer hair on the legs when it is used daily. It really works and so does their firming lotion. Shave once you have been in the shower about 10 minutes so that your hairs are moisturized and soft, then shave them, also Skintimate after shave lotion for girls is a great asset to shaving and I highly reccomend it. \nNever use soap, always body wash or shave gel.

Well there are a few differnt reasons it can happen. Infection of the hair folicles, Irritation , and ingrown hairs.\n\nThe best way to shave is to shave with a new or sharp razor and shaving cream for sensative skin, shave in one direction to limit the irritation, and do not apply alot of pressure. After you get done clean off with water, and let it air dry. Drying it with a towel will only irritate your skin, and possibly clog your pores. After it dries use rubbing alcohol a couple of times a day until the irritation goes down.\n\nAnd yes it will itch but the Alcohol helps, and if you continue to shave that will go away as well.

i am guessing if you have to ask, this is one of the first times you have shaven down there, you might have done a bad job of it, tiny little cuts itch you know, good soap helps, keeping it dry, the hair might be growing back, or your underwear is too tight, no whity tighties, try boxers

shave in the direction first and then against it\nrub it with diluted dettol after the shave and use a moisturiser

It kind of sounds like razor burn, make sure you use really thick shaving cream, and don't be afraid to slather it on. then use an after shave care gel, skintamate has pretty good ones. And of course use a really sharp razor (toss it out every two weeks) so don't have to go over spots. and put on lotion afterwards, if all else fails and you still get them, try using baby oil after the shower, or pure vaseline.

I myself have had this problem.  I tried waxing, shaving, and hair removal cream, none of which solved the problem.  I did find a gel that you can rub on your skin after shaving/waxing/etc. which is very helpful.  It is called BikiniZone, and I bought mine at Wal-Mart for a fair price, so I assume that it can be found pretty easily.

Ive had this problem before too, Try the new product out called Veet, its like a nair, yet in a foam like form. It works great, and causes less bad effects as waxing, shaving or using nair would.\n\nIf shaving I know, use a 4 blade, shaver instead of a single or double, its a softer, yet great way to shave hair way down to the root, and have softer legs longer. Try this.\n\nAnother neat trick is shaving with conditioner as your lather. Its gental on your skin, and leaves your legs looking sexy and shiny.
