Hi,

Very close shaving particularly in the reverse direction of the hair follicles does cause rash sometimes. This is inflammatory reaction. You may apply some antibiotics cream with mild steroid in it and they will go away. However, the area will remain sore, particularly as the fair follicles start growing. Apply some soothing powder like micoderm over the area.

Avoid irritation to the part. If you are finding underwear irritating the skin, you may not wear them for few days, if it is possible. Please do not use the synthetic underwear, use only hosiery cotton soft and smooth underwear. It will take about 3-4 days for the lesions to vanish and have relief.

I hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
