Try to get in contact with a gynecologist and ask. I have it happen to me a little and it's just because of sensitive skin in my case. It may be that.

Whenever you shave too close, especially in a tender place such as your pubic area, ingrown hair is going to be a problem. Men face the same problem when shaving their face and trying for that really close shave. Not only do they get razor burn but the ingrown hair makes it look like they have pimples until the hair grows out.
When shaving your pubic area both men and women will feel the same discomfort such as itching as the hair grows back. Razor burn and ingrown hairs are also a problem.
Your age shows as 14, why you are shaving your pubic hair, you haven't said. There is only two reasons I can think of for shaving or trimming in that area. One is for personal hygiene and the other is for when wearing a bathing suit. Your way too young to be having sex or even for allowing a boy to touch you in that area.
As for personal hygiene as the words suggest it is personal choice though there is no reason to shave your entire pubic bush. You need only to shave around your vaginal lips to accomplish your hygiene goals. As for your pubic hair showing outside a bathing suit or your panties you can trim the pubic bush to fit under them.
Your pubic hair like a man's facial hair it becomes more coarse and somewhat thicker each time you shave. Once you start shaving you have to shave more often just to keep the hair at bay, so to speak.
It is of course your choice as to shave or not to shave. Given the problems you are experiencing the only way to stop them is to stop shaving and to stop waxing. As it appears your skin is more delicate than most in that area. Shave your vaginal lips and immediate area or just trim that area with scissors for hygienic purposes if you wish, leave the rest natural. In the summer trim what you must to fit inside your bathing suit.
