Look for a cream for shaving bumps in the bikini area. As for the itching, there realy isn't much you can do except keep it shaved or let it grow. Some of the itching is probably the stubble getting caught in the fabric of your underwear. Happens to me all of the time. But nowadays I don't shave it all off. I just do a little landscaping. And always use a fresh razor and shaving cream or gel.
that's what I've been told. like I said it's not on the inside it's only on the left side near the top on the outer lip. don't think it's an STD because no abnormal discharge and I've been with th same man for seven months and this has never happened. is there anything I can use to soothe the pain or itching? it's sore from itching and rubbing on my pants/undies.
It sounds like ingrown hairs. You were sensitive after shaving and probably having rough sex didn't help any at all. You will itch from the hair trying to grow back. Give it about a week and if it doesn't get any smaller or go away or you get new symptoms, by all means see a doctor.
