Brief Answer:
This is caused by irritation and cuts from the shaving blade!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this problem that you have reported. I have reviewed the images and the findings are suggestive of cuts from the shaving blade. There are minor wounds that would normally not hurt but when you wipe, chemicals get into the body and cause the pain you have reported. The best way forward is to avoid shaving 24/7 and shaving very low. Shaving very low would inevitably cause problems of this nature.
For now, I wil recommend you cleanse with Iodine. It would take 3-5days for the small wounds to get healed and within this period, you would feel pains/bites when cleansing with Iodine or when touched by urine.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
