Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to recurrent fungal infections. If you send a picture it will be more helpful in identifying. Using ointments with combination of antifungal like miconazole, anti bacterial like neomycin and corticosteroid like flucinolone will help helpful for such case. A visual examination with a dermatologist will rule out this. It is better to avoid soaps and irritants to wash the genital area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Hypo allergic soaps like cetaphil also can be used. You can do waxing if it is comfortable and not irritating for skin. You can also do shaving using low irritation blades. But if still irritation is there then better use trimmer alone. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
