hey, over the last 2 months i have started shaving my pubic hair because my gf really likes it. at first, everything was fine, then i started getting in grown hairs! :scream\_cat: the last time i shaved i got about 3 or 4...some on my shaft, and the rest above my penis where most of the hair is. The ingrowns are really a problem since they form lumps almost like zits or something, and on top of that, these last ones got infected!...i had to go on antibiotics and everything. Is there any way i can shave my pubic hair and not get ingrowns...like, maybe i shouldnt shave against the grain or w/e...are there any tips to stop, reduce, or deal with in grown hairs. if the info is needed, i normally shave in the shower with a mach 3 razor blade, maybe this type of razor is the problem? who knows...any help or info wutsoever would greatly be appreciated...peace! :wink:

In Grown Hairs

Well when i used to get alot of ingrown hairs my doc told me to shave with the grain and use aveeno shaving gel. Its reduced the problem alot but i still get them from time to time
-
thanx, thats pretty helpful...but you say you still get them, about how many do you get per month would you say? another thing, when you get them, are they just like a bump/pimple looking thing, and what do you do to get rid of this in grown hair...thx for your reply
-
Uh oh. I shave my pubes. Does anybody know what are the chances of getting in growing hairs?
-
well it all depends. see if i shave every other day i get less, like o iono a dozen or so a month. Theyre not horribly noticable. they just turn red. i usually ignor ethem and they go away, or i ge tthem witha tweezer if it looks like i can. but dont pick at it and annoy the skin otherwise ull leave marks.
-
so would you say its better to shave like once every other day, instead of once every week or so? and then when u get these in grown hairs...they just will go away? and if u they dont just go away, and stay a bump, what do you do? should u bother picking at it, or just leave it be...will picking at it start an infection??? so many questions...lol

Leave it be, if you mess with it you'll A) Spread it. b) Be in pain C) Irritate it D) make it stay longer

well i need to shave more often because of my age. it also depends on how hairy u r. me im italian so i have more hair. but just leave em be if u get them. try washin with acne medication so it prevents an infection forming from the hairs.
