Take a rag or small towel, wet it with cold water place it on the area that hurts. That should help a little. Take some Advil to alleviate the pain also. You can try a good moisturizer. It will burn worse at first, but after a couple minutes will feel better. Aloe and vitamin E are very good for the skin. Rub in on the area like the moisturizer.

well whats done is done but if u had of asked me first i would have said to leave the hair - i think its beautiful - your pubic area is in shock from a sharp razor being on it for the first time - try some lotion with aloe in it or better yet get an aloe plant and break the leaves off and squeeze the aloe juice out and rub it on there - it should get better in a few days - if u think u must continue to shave down there it will get better once your skin is toughened by the razor - u can expect more of this agony the first few times though

relax. it happens. If you've gotten red, chance are you tried to shave too close - against the grain. Don't do that. Shave the same direction as the hair comes out, and it won't irritate as much.
And go to a drug store and buy some after-shaving lotion to reduce the irritation, just be careful what you buy, and don't apply too much or too close to vital parts. Get the "bikini area" stuff.

The hair will grow back--I did the same thing at your age--and still do! Try putting caladry or calamine lotion on it. It might help stop the itching and burning. When the hair grows back its going to itch so becarefull around your mom when that happans. The more you do shave the less painfull it gets--sorry sweets good luck

Why do children feel it is ok to put this kind of information on public world wide internet but can't talk to their parents. You can tell your mom and should, you are much too young to be doing things like that.

Use some medicated lotion, one which is recommended for abrasions or skin irritations. You can buy it over the counter at any drugstore. And tell your mom what you did.

Why can't you tell your mom? She's the best person that can help you... even if you do get grounded for two weeks. Well, I just suggest you tell your mom about it. I'm sorry I couldn't help you... :(

I don't know, but if you have another adult friend you may ask, like a cousin, or a friend of the family, you should try asking them

Ice and Vaseline are good healers
