Shaving rash - surely there's a way to deal with it?!

Always slather on moisturiser afterwards, but make sure its unperfumed with no nasty chemicals. Cetaphil is the best one, I use that baby all over, face, too. Its gentle and leaves your skin really soft to the touch. Hope it helps.

Exfoliate!!! Get a loofah mitt and get rid of all the dead skin the day before you shave then the day after. Moisturise- a few drops of tea tree in your plain sorbolene will keep it nice. Waxing is better... But hurts like a bitch...

Wax if you can but otherwise, make sure your razor is new and use a good shaving foam as well as has already been suggested, exfoliate and moisturise.. If its ingrown hairs that are the issue, you can get stuff for them. Laser is also an option if the bare look is likely to be an ongoing thing

The type you get at the healthfood store, the ones you cook with... and mmm it smells and tastes good! Best thing to reduce the rash and overall body moisturiser! Also makeup remover (but that's probably more for the girls!) - Posted from rhpmobile

Does that go on before or after shaving? BTW, not ashamed to go for a 'girls product' if it works.

I use the Cleancut shaver, marketed as the "pussy shaver", but with the body hair trimmer to trim it to stubble first. No problems whatsoever and very safe/secure. Very rarely pulls hairs. I would wax, but frankly I don't get it often enough to be worthwhile! This way I can trim/shave ready for a special occasion in very little time :)

but waxing is the bomb! I live the smith silky feel it gives afterwards mind you I also love the feel of the hot wax. It takes longer to grow back and it grows back soft. I don't shave anything but my legs. to combat shaving rash on the past I have found using moisturiser when shaving is good and exfoliating. For in grown hairs you can buy a solution to dab I but really if you exfoliate well this should take care of it. I also found the more I shaved (Like if you do it everyday) the worse the shaving rash was.

I tried waxing for the first time about 8 weeks ago. I went to a really reputable place that specialised in "down there" and just went for a back and butt (including inner) wax to start off. The lady was very professional and really nice, and in fact the most sensitive area actually hurt the least. After she was finished, having discussed it all with her, on the pain front I wouldn't hesitate to wax the other bits as well. Anyhow, it was awesome for all of 48hrs. My back reacted so badly that after 5 days I then took a few days off work (it kind of peaked around day 7) - it turned into an infected acne disaster. Without going into all the specifics I had a dermatology appt 2 weeks afterwards for a general skin check-up, and basically I have a sensitive skin type that will always react with things like this (I mention this, because some less qualified people initially told me that if I just keep doing it, my skin will adjust, dermatologist disagreed with that view). To give some background, I am considered to have sensitive skin and yeah I burn easily. I'm not considered to be very hairy at all, I just dislike back hair. Fortunately where my inner cheeks were waxed (with hot wax not strip) there was almost zero reaction. In years gone past I have tried the Veet hair removal cream "for men" on my back and groin area (yes i know it explicitly says not to use it there) with quite good results, but the only time i used it there it made my skin quite raw for about a day afterwards. I didn't suffer any in-growns from using this, and if it wasn't for the massive warnings all over it, I would have considered using it again for that area, but yeah the raw mild burn feeling afterwards scares me a liittle too much from trying it again. Couldn't think of many more embarrassing reasons to have to explain yourself at emergency for...lol

Does laser hurt less than waxing? Does the hair eventually stop growing? Do you have to wait for a bit of re-growth before you go again? (I hate that in between wax stage!)

I have the same problem as you, with my eyebrows.... That's where I learnt that upon waxing, the pores and end capillaries open up due to heat and removal of hair, therefore opening up for contact with particles in the air and infection...... I have found that when treated straight away with a tea-tree wash, it eliminated that problem.... For your back, just have a spray bottle with tea-tree oil (from Coles) diluted with water, get them to spray it on and wipe area clean with tissues..... Just a suggestion :)

No matter what hair removal method I use from creams to shaving to waxing and IPL, I have a terrible time afterwards. Creams burn my skin, shaving leaves a red itchy rash, waxing creates ugly ingrown hairs and IPL has burnt me or created flare up in eczema. L4Q, I have used IPL and it hurts more on my pussy than waxing but in other areas like my arms and legs, the waxing is far worse than the IPL. Like Missb, I loved wax downstairs, it was a little erotic with the warm wax in that area. it just didn't like me later when the hair was growing back. I used to get severely itchy when the hair was attempting to punch back through the skin even with exfoliation. It drove me to distraction!

Quoting 'looking4quality' Does laser hurt less than waxing? Does the hair eventually stop growing? Do you have to wait for a bit of re-growth before you go again? (I hate that in between wax stage!) I've never had my bits waxed so can't really compare, but found the laser quite doable. My hair has almost completely stopped growing after 10 or so treatments and I only go back twice a year for a touch-op. You don't have to have regrowth, though you should be able to tell the hair follicle is there, as the laser seeks it out and destroys it. (If you normally shave they may tell you not to on the day before, so you can just see the stubble.) Important to remember that laser only works on light skin with dark hair. Tip: Taking a Nurofen Plus an hour beforehand really makes a difference. L4Q, there is a Clearskincare Clinic in Bondi I can highly recommend. (Underarms and Brazilian for 55.-, you can't beat that!)

Was having a horrible time with ingrowns, rashes and unsightly red lumps, that I didn't even want to go near downstairs, let alone others lol............ Seriously, went for laser, it feels like a rubber band being flicked against your skin, not to bad (if you want, buy numbing cream from pharmacy). The best thing is, it's been 4 weeks, no ingrowns, have only done one top up shave just yesterday, not sure I even needed that one........... I go back in two weeks and already the majority of my hair hasn't re grown :)))))).

Have you ever tried the Candela Laser? From the reviews I've seen it gets much better results than IPL.

I'd suggest the Veet bikini hair removal cream for women. I only managed to burn myself with it once, after a few too many Margaritas.

OP Mate "aftershave" is a disinfectant, use it after you shave. When you shave against the grain you lift the skin at each hair follicle, which then gets a slight cut allowing the germs in. The redness is the result of the bodies immune system fighting the bugs by opening up the blood capillaries walls to let fluid in so the specialized immune cells can do their work. When you shave, first wash, shave, then disinfect. Watch out for the balls aftershave can sting. All is good, your body has most likely never had to deal with the unique germs down the. If you continue regularly shaving you immune system will create a memory of those germs giving you immunity. So in a short time you will not get the redness, well until you get introduced to a new culture, which will happen when you come in contact with other people good bits.
