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'm pretty sure if you wax, you'll get the same symptoms. I think you should talk to a/your dermatologist for any kinds of hair removal creams for sensitive skin. It's most likely due to the skin condition that you have, that your skin becomes itchy and irritated. Just remember to always use a fresh blade and to prevent itching for me (because I get it too, minus the skin condition), I use a cheap hair conditioner as shaving cream.

Thanks I'll see a dermatologist and try the hair conditioner thing! :)
