Suggest Ways To Avoid Pricking Of Trimmed Pubic Hair

Hi I stopped shaving and want to grow my pubic hair back but the tips of the growing hair are pricking my genitals (like needles) and its very painful and itchy and looks like its irritated a lot. Pls advise how to stop the pricking. I prefer to have the pubic hair back as it gives cushion between my skin and my underwear to have air and for my sensitive skin to breath. Thanks

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, trimmed pubic hair is known to give pin prick sensation till its size is very small.

* Once particular size is attained with hair shaft, then prick sensation goes away and one does not have problem with hair even during wearing inner garment.

Following measures do help soothing in meanwhile time period

- local cleansing with antiseptic liquid or soap
- wear loose, cotton inner garments
- local application of sandal wood powder or lavender oil.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
