normal razor burn. Don't sweat it.
Lubricate skin after you shave. "A moisturizing body lotion will help reduce dryness and itchiness after shaving," says D'Anne Kleinsmith, M.D., a staff dermatologist at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan.
Shave after you bathe. Next time you shave, give irritated skin a break by making sure that it's well-hydrated before you graze a razor over it. "The best time to shave is after a shower or bath," says Dr. Placek. "Your skin won't be dry, and your hairs will soften and stand up, so shaving will be less traumatic."
Drop the soap. People with razor-sensitive skin should stick with a shaving cream that contains aloe or some other soothing ingredient, recommends Dr. Placek.
"Shaving cream is a real help," agrees Dr. Kleinsmith. "Put it on after you bathe, when your skin and hair are already soft. Then, leave the shaving cream on for another couple of minutes to soften your hair even more before you shave."
Shave it down. Shave hair in the direction that it grows--in a downward motion. "This won't irritate the hair follicles as much as if you're shaving upward against short, bristly hairs," says Dr. Walters.
Switch to a hair-dissolver cream. If you know that you're prone to razor bumps, consider using a lotion depilatory, which dissolves hair. "These lotions may be a little smelly and messy, but they're less traumatic to the hair follicles than scraping a razor over them," says Dr. Placek.
Most people tolerate depilatories very well, but some people are allergic, says Dr. Walters. If you notice a rash, irritation or burning sensation in reaction to a hair-removing lotion, rinse it off and don't use it again.

This is a razor rash, and you need to stop shaving for a few days, after you begin again, use talcum powder after shaving. Do not use any hair remover, it will cause problems.

Alot of people get little pimples when they shave. It is probably more sensitive and will have to build up to not be so sensitive over time it should go away.

It's probably normal to get razor burn, I think I might try another way to shave it or trim it up...like maybe with an electric razor.

did you use shaving cream if not its probably beacause you didnt and the razor blade left tiny cuts (always happens) which most likely got infected
see a doctor

Probably razor bumps. They will go away. If you do it next time resist scratching and they won't appear.
However-- I do need to make a disclaimer. I am not a doctor. The answer was my personal take. If you are genuinely concernred please see a doctor.

yes it is normal, yes it will stop. You need to be extra careful when shaving down there.

Hey man, don't touch that area. I perfectly like my hair there and believe me, you wouldn't want to get some sort of rash and stuff there. So, consider stopping now. Most girls attracted to the hair you know?
