How can I stop having bumps when I shave my "pussy"?
What would you suggest?
I don't enjoy having a bush there.
"Bumps" are usually the result of cut hair curling downward when regrowing. They grow back into the body instead of away and irritate the skin.
How are ingrown pubic hairs treated? Glad you asked!
In most cases, you don’t need to treat ingrown pubic hairs. They’ll often clear up on their own without treatment. If the hairs don’t start to grow back up through the skin on their own, you may need to try one of the following treatment options.
1. Stop removing the hair in that area
Stop waxing, shaving, or plucking the hair in that area until the ingrown hair goes away.
Continuing to shave will aggravate the sensitive area even more. Scratching or picking at the ingrown hair will increase your discomfort. It could even lead to a skin infection or leave a scar.
2. Apply warm compresses
Place warm compresses on the area.
You can also rub a wet washcloth or soft toothbrush in a circular motion over the skin.
3. Gently pull out the hair
Once the hair emerges above the skin, use sterile tweezers or a needle to gently pull it.
Try not to pluck it out completely until the area is healed, or the skin will heal over the hair again. Don’t dig into your skin. Breaking through your skin could cause an infection.
4. Remove dead skin
Gently wash and exfoliate around the ingrown hair to help the hair return to the surface of the skin.
If that doesn’t work, your doctor might prescribe a drug that can help dead skin cells slough off more quickly.
5. Use creams to reduce inflammation
If the ingrown pubic hair is causing a lot of redness and inflammation, your doctor may prescribe a steroid cream. This topical treatment can reduce swelling and irritation around the hair.
6. Use retinoids
Retinoids, such as tretinoin (Renova, Retin-A), can speed up the clearing of dead skin cells. They may also help clear up dark skin patches that form because of the ingrown hair. You’ll need a prescription from your doctor for retinoids. These medicines can cause dry skin.
Don’t use any products with retinoids if you’re pregnant. This medication is dangerous to the baby and can cause birth defects.
If you have any medical questions, please see you doctor before starting, stopping or changing any treatment yourself.
Ok, nothing to be embarrassed about, and a lot of women, and more men than will admit, that they at least 'TRIM' quite intensively, or shave clean! A past girlfriend wanted me to, and when a Lady asks, guys pretty much do anything for them, right? :)
Skintimate! They have a shave cream, and an after-shaving cream. Venus women's razor, and how many men trust a woman with a bladed instrument, near their penis?
She showed me what she loved, and at first, I wasn't much of a fan! Later, when others liked the same, OK, if she shaves clean, I can handle that too!
The Skintimate after-shave lotion really seems to help with the in-grown hairs, and itching!
Yeah, some guys are going to say it's 'gay' and using a woman's razor, and female-intended products, but if the Lady I am loving is happy, SO WHAT?

* cream like Nair
a hot wet towel once you've shaved, put the hot towel on where you've shaved and leave it, this will help close the pores in your skin...
I know, my gynecologist suggest me to not remove hair. I understand the benefits, yet its just not pretty.
there is more then one way to trim and/or groom the area to style it in a manner you like.
why not just trim
Probably sounds silly but try using hair conditioner as a lather when shaving there. It will cause your razor to more smoothly glide over your skin. It will give you an extra smooth shave as well.
I do this with my legs and it works maybe I can try it with my pubic area. Thanks!
You are welcome. I hope it works.
