I'm 16 and of course a female. I have been shaving "down there" for the past few weeks now. I use shaving cream so yeah. I have been using some Deodorant Body Powder to keep from getting bumps and itching. Well it appears to be working great so far. Does this sound safe to keep doing? Could this cause a infection somehow?
DruidX answered Monday October 11 2004, 1:59 pm: Just makes sure you don't get any cream or powder in yourself, and you should be fine. Also, be careful of any nicks you cause while shaving, as getting cream or powder in them might cause an infection. If you do nick yourself, try putting an anti-ceptic cream in the wound and try to avoid putting any other substance near it.
Other than that, it sounds like you've got everything covered :) [ DruidX's advice column | Ask DruidX A Question ]

If itching start to occur, just go see a doctor and he/she will give you some cream to reduce the itching. Hope I helped :) [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
