14/f. Yesterday I shaved my pubic hair for the first time. at first I didn't notice anything but later on it started to hurt! When I shaved, I shaved downward and upward. Now whenever I put on jeans or underwear or something the clothes rub on it and it hurts! Also when it's growing back it feels prickly... also when you move your hand upwards on it it hurts SO MUCH. The area kind of feels raw too. Why is this happening, when will this go away, and what can I do about it? I tried baby powder, lotion, baby oil, itching cream, and much more! Thanks so much!

you can put some lotion on it, too. it needs moisterization.
But the first time always kind of goes wrong, so pay no attention to that. [ contradictionn's advice column | Ask contradictionn A Question ]

audra answered Thursday February 1 2007, 10:51 pm: i remember being 14, and playing around with a razor, but unless you are cleaning up your bikini line (just as the name suggests, the area where your bikini rests just above your thigh) when swimming season comes around, and you have cousin "IT" between your legs then is the time to do something about it, a nice wax, or even the nair specialty for bikini area would do the trick, waxing hurts something fierce the first few times, but after you get over that hurdle the hair comes in softer, less thick and less coarse, and is easier to yank out.
as for the pain, sorry, the only thing that is going to help you out is waiting it out... your gonna have to wait for it to grow back in...
hopefully you just meant your bikini line, i'd hate to think that a 14 year old girl would be concerned with "landscaping" down there at such an early age.... and it might be "sexy" to go "bald" down there, but not until you are 18 if you know what i mean...
