What Causes Itching In Vagina After Shaving Pubic Hair?
Question: Ive been shaving my pubic hair every one-two weeks including using XXXXXXX hair removal and i got some itching in my vaginal area and now it itches. ...should i be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Fungal Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
1) Itching might be due to fungal infection that you might have developed.
2) No need to worry if it is mild itching. Sometimes itching could also be due to the dryness caused after shaving the part.
3) If itching becomes more or unbearable or embrassing you can get examined by a doctor and get prescription for antifungal ointment.
4) I suggest dont shave more frequently. Keep the gap more than 2 weeks.
I hope your doubt is cleared.

Dr. Soumya
