I'm sorry - I didn't really know where to post this! Recently I shaved just the upper part of my pubic hair and now it feels really tender. Not to mention somewhat itchy. Does anyone know of a certain lotion that's good for relief in such a sensitive area?
Thanks very much!

I shaved this past summer for swimsuit reasons as well as sexual.

Hydrocortisone creme (just apply a small amt) is good for this problem. Cortaid is the brand name you can try; most discount stores have their own brand. I also used wheat germ oil (a little expensive). I prefer unscented lotions, since they do not have irritating perfumes in them, etc. I would not put the cortisone cream near the vaginal area or labia--just on the pubic mound.

Hope this helps
