Vagina Problems
Hi, I am an 18 year old women, I have been sexually active for a year now. I frequently shave my pubic hairs about once a week but now I am getting white flaky patches around the razor bumps. And recently, I have seen very large and disturbing patches of white flaky skin and cuts on my vagina. I do have eczema. What could this be? My vulva and vagina opening have been itching and burning extremely as if I have a yeast infection and there is some mild pain behind that.
Try waxing instead of shaving, and make sure to select the proper wax for your skin because even wax can give you bumps and maybe try using an oil after shaving such as coconut oil, vitamin E oil or tea tree if your skin likes it.
You should try using bikini zone medicated after shave creme/gel. It soothes and prevents the redness. U also may be dry and need to use some sensitive skin and unscented lotion (but not in vulva, just outer area). I use a men's Mach 3 razor and it works better than any female razor I've ever used.
