okay, so i'll start by saying, i'm a guy. i know this is the female genitalia forum, but i figure more girls have had this problem then guys, so i am trying my luck here.forgive me if it is against the rules...i didn't shave my entire pubic area, i trim the hairs above my penis and on my scrotum, but i have some hair kind of near the pelvis...i think, on the right and left of the major grouping of pubic hair, so thursday night i said hey i'll try shaving the hairs off. i used a mach 3 razor and gilette shaving gel. unfortunately i went against the grain. and have developed what i would call a decent case of razor burn, or razor bumps. the burn/bumps have slightly improved since thursday night/friday morning. my question is how long will it be until the burn/bump goes away completely, do i have to worry about long term discoloring? any tips other than aloe vera and cortisone to help healing faster? i'm hoping for it to be good and gone in four days? is this too much to hope for? any input would be very very appreciated.

Razor burn on pubic region...how long will it last
-
It happens to everyone. It should be gone in a few days, it won't leave any mark.Sometimes it's just best to leave it alone and not put anything on it to irritate it.
-
thank you for the quick reply :smile: it has gotten better, i know that much.
my girlfriend comes back from a two week trip in europe on the 26th, don't want that unsightly thing still there when she gets home. y'know?
-
just one last question, it's normal for the razor burned area to be kind of sensitive yes? when i was it in the shower it isn't overly pleasant. kind of stings.
-
If it's irritated, which it apparrently is, it's normal to burn/sting. Does your girlfriend know you've shaved,or is it a surprise?
-
she doesn't know, but it wasn't a surprise either. it was experimentation for myself, i'm not a huge fan of body hair. but i think they razor burn itself is disgusting, and i can't see her not agreeing. it's just...not pleasant. and i seriously regret shaving. ergh.

if it's not cleared up by thursday should i be concerned? online they say that if it isn't cleared up by 3-4 days to contact a doctor, tomorrow is the 4th day, since i did it thursday night and it didn't really appear till friday morning. seems a little jumping the gun to contact a doctor that early....there is no throbbing or increase in swelling or real heat down there, which they say were hints of infection. should i be worried if it's still there by thursday? should i expect it to still be there by thursday? i'm a worrier, mer.
