You can try exfoliating the area gently.
yes it goes aways, but maybe you should try some shaving gel with aloe in it
dont shave pluck them
They are somewhat painful to touch. Are they ingrown hairs? What can I do to avoid these? Thanks.
They are ingrown hairs- it took me years to figure out a good way to get rid of them. I find waxing too expensive and not convienent enought (not to mention painful) and Nair isn't designed to be used near your vagina- the chemicals are pretty harsh and can cause some bad side effects. Plus, waxing and nair can cut down on the ingrown hairs (personally, i find i generaly get more from waxing), but its not a cure.
Ingrown hairs are caused when the hair is trapped under the skin. This can be because of a lot of dead skin cells, or because you've shaved the hair too close. The redness is because the skin is being stretched and inflamed, but also because often times the ingrown hair will become slightly infected and form pus, looking a lot like a pimple. Ingrown hairs can form because pores or follicles are clogged with the dead skin cells or dirt. I find it easiest to think of treating them in two parts- a trapped hair, and drying out a pimple.
I rarely get them anymore from shaving, and what I have found works best is this:
1) Instead of using a normal women's shaving cream that is formulated for the whole body, I found that it makes a huge difference if I use a men's shaving cream thats specifically intended for their face (there are quite a few products that are geared towards reducing shave bumps for men, since the skin on their face is just as delicate, gets shaved more often, and is way more apparent to the public!) My favorite at the moment is Neutrogena Men's Shaving Cream- its very smooth cream, not foam, and it has a small bit of saliclyic acid in it, which is a popular ingredient in a lot of acne medication. I find that one bottle of it lasts me forever, too. I also make sure that I exfoliate pretty vigorously before I shave- a good hard rub with a loofah!
2) When I'm actually shaving, I try to shave small sections at a time, slowly. I use just a regular Venus razor, which is pretty decent, although I find when the blades are new and at their sharpest is when its the most dangerous, since thats when the hair gets cut off the closest and it tends to create the most ingrown hairs. A lot of people swear by shaving with the grain instead of against it. I think a lot of the trouble is caused by people trying to shave too closely. visually, you can get away with not shaving very closely, and I've also found that what seems kind of prickly and not super smooth to me in the shower will seem baby smooth to me in ten minutes when im out of the shower and dry. (Just like how you're supposed to shave when your hair is wet, because it makes the hair expand and become softer, so when its dry it will seem less obvious because its no longer full of all that water)
3) When I'm done shaving, I find that as long as I keep an eye on my hair, its generally in pretty good shape. I exfoliate with my loofah each time I shower, and keep an eye to see if I see any starts of ingrown hairs- generally you can see a very mild bit of red and free the hair with a bit of tweezers before it gets bad at all. The redness goes away quickly once the hair isn't trapped. And I also tend not to pluck the hair all the way out- just free it from the dead skin with a little pull of fine nosed tweezers. If I pluck it all the way, I find that in a few days, I'll just have an ingrown hair in the same spot as the hair grows back again. When its first starting to grow back I like to clean down there in the shower with the same cleaners I use on my face- just sensitive skin face wash and occasionally a gentle exfoliating scrub. Keeping it clean prevents the pimple like structures that form if you do get an ingrown hair, so at least it won't be infected
My description makes it seem like preventing ingrown hairs is a full time job- but its really pretty easy- just prepare well, be gentle while shaving, and then keep an eye out. After a few weeks, it wont be anymore work at all because you won't be getting them. And if you get them terribly badly (and some people are more prone than others), shaving or waxing isnt necessary to live a long and happy life- I just find it more comfortable for my self, even though I know several men who prefer more hair down there, its up to you. Good luck!
You women still shouldn't be shaving your p闇塻sies. Real grown women have some hair on that snatch! Report It
ya know what i have found to work really well for razor rash is pro-active repair solution
you could also try nair or waxing
you should try to use Nair instead of shaving it will reduce the redbumps and it is way less painless and you don't cut your "Gyna"
Yes they are ingrown hairs. It could also be some razor burn. They make creams and salves to help prevent both, they are sold over the counter at wal-mart, or any other drug store. If it gets really bad and/or is too sore then you should consult a doctor.
Quit shaving it then! God put hair on it for a reason. I can't imagine now dating a girl and making it to 3rd base only to find it is slick and clean like a little girl's would be!!!
A man likes to feel of a furry muffin, plus if they are naturally blonde or red, that is even better! Nothing like a natural fire crotch with big ole lips on it!!!!!
Use lotion after shaving. Sometimes it gets red from chafing. If your clothes are rubbing against your bikini area too soon after shaving, or when new growth starts it is going to cause a rash and ingrown hairs.
I use body butter from The Body Shop (coconut). I have a friend that uses Witches Hazel or something like that. It is found where the alcohol is, but it isn't alcohol. Anything with vitamin E is good as well. It will help heal the area and lessen any razor burn that might occur.
they are ingrown hairs. You should not shave, use other mehtods like hair removal creams. Veet has a great that works very well and lasts longer than shaving. It does not cost a lot. There is also waxing, lasts long, costs more. A lot of women get the ingrown hairs. I tried a cream called bikini zone a few yrs ago, try that and it may help u. You apply it after u shave to prevent the bumps.
Sounds like ingrown hairs. The skin closes up over the follicle and its got nowhere to go. Exfoliate regularly. A body puff or scrubbe, not sure what they are actually called, apply liquid soap and it gently removes the dead layer of skin allowing the hair to grow without causing infection or pain.
in grown hairs. try nair, or somthing similar.
try tweezers
You can try the Nair or something similar, but that could make things worse (I've treated women with wicked rashes down there caused by Nair...) Make sure your razor is fresh and sharp, and that you use a good, lubricating shaving gel; a dull blade tugs and nicks skin (AKA "razor burn"). Advice about exfoliation is good, although go gentle while you have the active bumps. If all that fails, then there's always waxing, plucking, and even laser hair removal (laser = very expensive, but permanent).
they usually r ingrown hairs.
They look like blackheads surrounded by a circle of redness and they are on the back of the thighs.
needle
I get that too.
Sometimes exfoliation daily in the shower can help.
Sometimes, you can also use a needle, dipped in alcohol, to carefully pry out the hair, then pluck with tweezers..
sharp tweezers
the scientific kind
sharpen em more if you have to
then get somebody with a steady hand and a sharp eye to pull them out for you
I guess that would depend on each individual person, which nair product you used, and if you followed the directions for use correctly. I'm sure it's not impossible. Here's the warning label that states:
Be Careful
When using NAIR庐 Cream Depilatories and NAIR庐 Cream Bleach, avoid eye contact. NAIR庐 Cream Depilatories and NAIR庐 Cream Bleach can be used anywhere except around eyes, in nose, ears or on breast nipples, perianal or vaginal/genital areas.
Do not use NAIR Waxes immediately after a bath and don't use deodorant or antiperspirants for 24 hours after underarm hair removal. People suffering from diabetes, varicose veins, moles, warts or circulatory problems should not use waxes. Do not wax inside the ears, on nipples, perianal, vaginal/genital areas or eyelashes.
Do not use NAIR庐 products on irritated, inflamed or broken skin.
NAIR庐 products should be kept out of reach of children
yes
CEPHALEXIN generic for KEFLEX .and maybe a MUPIROCIN ointment.
Not sure bout ingrowing hair but for razor bumps I use deodorant down there..Trust me, it works...Eventhough it sounds silly
stop shaving and start using a depilatory cream.
you probably got it from a toilet seat. all std's are because of toilet seats. right???
I would think yes, they could also be caused by shaving. But it would just be one or two ingrowns ... if you have more red bumps than that see a doctor.
