Suggest Treatment For Rashes And Spots On Groin Area After Shaving
Question: Why do I always get a rash and spots on my ass and around that area a day after shaving ? And how can I prevent that from happening :( it makes me feel so unattractive and makes me hate my body! Please help
Brief Answer:
Avoid shaving very low!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these rashes. I will advice that you avoid shaving very low especially allowing the blade to caress the skin surface over and over. These rashes are referred to as after shaved folliculitis and caused by irritation. Try to be gentle, superficial and this would gentle disappear after shaves. As long as the surface is caressed over and over by a blade, this would be difficult to control. There are also after shave products but the best approach is to avoid shaving low.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

What do you mean shaving low? How can I get rid of these rashes/spots?
Brief Answer:
If rashes are present right now, see below!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I didn't realize you had rashes right now. I will recommend that you cleanse regularly with an antiseptic such as Iodine. Also, dress light, keep the are always dry and airy so as to aid with healing. There is no need for antibiotics at this time. Also, maintain a strict body hygiene especially with the underwear's.
When you next have to shave, please do not shave very low so as to avoid similar rashes.
I wish you well. Am still available to respond to further needs if you have any.
