so on thursday i decided to try shaving just a little of my pubic hair off. i have trimmed right above my penis for quite some time now, over a year, but i have some hair on the....flanks? i guess kind of on my thighs but still near my pubic region, so i shaved that off using a mach 3. the next day i had a decent razor burn on both parts of my thighs. it has improved slightly, not a whole lot, it's still red with some bumps. my question is, on average how long should i expect before the razor burn is fully gone, or almost fully gone? can i expect it mostly cleared or completely cleared by wednesday the 26th? thanks for any help.

Razor burn on pubic region

I got those too when I first shaved down there.I'd say the razor burn lasted...for me at least...about 3 weeks or so.
-
3 weeks??? sounds really long. most guesses for how long they take to go away is 3-4 days...3 weeks is terribly long.

Did you use a blade or an electric razor?
-
mach 3 blade. and stupidly went against hairs normal growth pattern, meaning up rather than down. i've been putting aloe vera on it and did a hot compress like a website suggested. and i've put hydrocortisone cream on it a few times. i'm worried about ingrown hairs/infection. and i don't want to have this disgusting rash for 3 weeks, let alone five days.

That's the same way I did it. :P
Cut myself a bit.
