VERY VERY VERY PERSON question...GIRLS ONLY!?

Question

I'm 15 years old, and this is kinnda odd and weird for me to ask but...
When i shave my crotch with a razor, im often left with little red marks everywhere, not because i've cut myself though...what is it?
I cant go to a professional place to get waxed cause my mum would kill me, is there any way i can do it without the after marks?

Answer 1

I agree with the Remington suggestion. Works great.

To stop razor burn, use solid antipersprirant where you've just shaved. Seriously. It prevents it entirely. I learned that trick from a friend who was a dancer (i.e. stripper) in college. All the showgirls I've met here in Vegas swear by it too. I've tried it and it works great! Just dry off and apply it. No bumps!

Answer 2

They are razor bumps. Try shaving with the hair, not against it. Use shaving foam not soap. You dont have to tell your mum about getting it done professionally, however, i dont they will do waxing because you are too young. The thing is that when you shave it is going itch like hell when it starts to grow back and it can be a bit uncomfortable. With waxing not being an option at the moment why dont you just trim the hair really short and just tidy it all up around the edges with a razor.

Answer 3

Sounds like razor bumps to me; you get them when shaving. I'd recommend waxing but, if you can't, make sure you fully prepare the area.
1. Best time to shave is when having a bath or shower; the heat will soften the hair and open the pores.
2. Use a fresh razor every time (dull blades can lead to razor rash, razor bumps and ingrowing hairs)
3. Use a shaving gel or a shaving oil when shaving; soap will dry the skin.
4. Shave in the direction of the hair growth; shaving against can cause irritation and lead to ingrowing hairs.
5. Use plenty of moisturiser, and exfoliate a day or so after shaving to remove dead cells and prevent ingrowing hairs. I'd exfoliate every 2-3 days until it's time to shave again.

I don't know where you live (UK or overseas) but I use a product called "InGrow Go"; it's sold in Boots and costs about £10, but it's brilliant at getting rid of ingrowing hairs and preventing new ones.

Good luck!

I use to get razor burn on my legs..
but I found this site and the tips really helped.

Guide to Shaving::

1. The trick to shaving is to wet your skin & let it soften from the heat & moisture. You don't want to shave dry skin. Shaving is a natural exfoliator & you'll clog up the razor with dead skin while putting yourself at risk for nicks.

2. There's no need to waste your money on shaving creams formulated especially for women. They are virtually the same as the creams sold for men. (Now if you can just find a scent you can live with).

3. You are going to have to experiment with razors until you find the perfect one for you. Ask your friends for recommendations & look for a razor with lubricated strips, pivoting heads & spring-mouonted multiple blades. I've sampled several types & varieties & was amazed at how different each feels. My favorite? The Gillette Venus razor. Another great & new bet: Schick Quattro for Women, which has 4 super-thin blades & a pivoting head.

4. Be sure to change razors or cartridges on a regular basis, a dull blade can lead to nicks. Also, it's best not to borrow your guy's razor. His hair is coarser & will dull a blade. (Plus, don't men typically hate it when women borrow razors?)

5. Be sure to exfoliate your skin before shaving. It gets rid of all the dead skin cells that could clog up your razor, preventing a close shave.

6. Since your leg hairs grow down, you'll want to start at your ankles & shave up. For your underarms, you'll need to shave in every direction since the hair there grows every which way.

7. When finished, apply oil or moisturizer. The skin on your legs has few oil glands & has a tendency for dryness.

8. Ingrown hairs are caused when the hairs curl back under the skin. Avoid ingrowns by exfoliating daily & using a glycolic acid body lotion.

9. If you have a chronic case of ingrown hairs, try Tend Skin, an over-the-counter lotion for ingrown hairs, applying it in the morning and at night. The bumps should disappear within a couple days.

10. Consider opting for waxing, at least on your legs. You'll find that if you have coarser hair, it won't grow back as fast.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

As you may of guessed by the parroting responses you've got yourself a case of razor burn.

There isn't much you can do for it other than moisturise, apply little pressure to the razor (so's to minimise the amount of skin your taking off) and use a lot of shaving cream.

I know you already know all this so I'll offer words of comfort...

At your age I got shaving rash EVERYWHERE I shaved! 5 years on I never get it... It stopped after about a year of regular shaving.

Bestest of luck!

Answer 7

The "after marks," as you put it, are called razor bumps. Number one, you are too young to be shaving that area, which is probably why you are experiencing this problem. There are hair removal products you can buy from the drugstore. Use them, and stop shaving until you get a little older.

Answer 8

The razor has irritated your "special girl" so now you have razor bumps.they have creams to remove the bumps ,I don't know how effective they are but what do you have to loose? Also be careful because shaving too early can also me a matter as well.You should inform your mom of what has happen so she can talk to your doctor and maybe they can prescribe you a prescription for it ,but never keep something like that from your mom.OK hon

Answer 9

those are razor bumps. from irritation.
some may develop into ingrown hairs.
so you have to be careful cos they hurt.
try shaving with shaving cream, in the contrary of the hair growth. do not use just soap and water.
afterwards apply lotion to help with the irritation and dryness and itching.
i really recommend a hair removal lotion or self waxing.
self waxing hurts but you won't need to do it that often.
lotions are easier and don't hurt.

Answer 10

Hello, after you shave, you can use deodorant and rub it on the place that you shaved, then rub it in really good. It helps with the red bumps and with itching as your hair grows back in.
You may need to do this for a couple of days after shaving. It really does help, I have a friend that is an exotic dancer and that is what they have to do, since they shave everyday.
