Hi, I wasn't sure what section to post this in. I am a 19 year old female.
So my pubic hair started growing when I was about 12, and it grew a lot.
The problem is that I don't know how to remove it. I've tried shaving, but I just got heaps of red dots and it was painfully itchy. I tried using hair removal cream (that you leave on for a few minutes, and then take off), but that also gave me a rash. Ive tried cutting the hairs with scissors, then shaving, but it made no difference.
I have no idea what to do now, every time I try to get rid of it, I get a painful rash and it grows back really quickly. And because I shaved it, it is now three times as worse as it was (its on my legs and reaches up really high)
I have extremely sensitive skin due to a skin condition. I even get a rash/cuts when I shave my underarms and legs.
Should I just go and get it waxed? I am afraid of this also causing a rash and being painful because of my sensitive skin.
I agree with the previous poster about shaving not making your hair grow back thicker. It just makes your hair sharper from where you cut it with the razor. Waxing will actually make the hair grow back a little less and less each time you do it. This happens because if a hair is pulled out by its root and you remove the papilla the hair cannot grow back. But I would be careful if you have a skin condition and consult a doctor first. The way I shave I try to shave the way that the hair grows. Since your pubic hair is thicker I think this reduces the friction and razor burn you can get from shaving against the way it grows. Try using an unscented shaving cream. Even one made for a man like Barbasol. Also make sure you use a new razor and maybe use a different number of blades than you did before. Maybe the razor was too dull or even too sharp. Hope this helps!
