What Causes Pain And Swollen Patch Of Skin After Shaving Legs?
I shaved my legs and buttock region about a week ago . There wasno discomfort upfront but. Few hours later it became very painful. It doesnt itch but there is sharp pain. When i tried putting neosporin on the tender area and felt that between the Intergluteal cleft on eithrr cheek there was a swollen patch of skin on either side that was painful to the touch. I am not sure if its discharging but there is a odd smell and on occasion when i wipe i get a little clear streak on the paper. I just been wondering if this is something i should take to a doc or if it is just really bad razor burn
