What can this be? At first I thought I had a shaving cream that i might be allergic to. I tried like every different shaving cream on the market and I had no change, my chin was still red. So I thought maybe I was shaving in a very very sensitive area and so I completely stopped shaving for about 6 months now (I just trim it now with an electric shaver - the blade DOES NOT come into contact with my skin) and my chin is stilll red... It looks like a rash but I have no clue... What can be causing this? What can I do to stop it from being red? Its a very embrassing problem but I dont know if I should go to the doctor... I have tried hydrocortizone cream but that doesnt work either... Please help
