Hello,

Burning sensation after shaving commonly occurs due to us of chemical cosmetic products that are too harsh for the skin. Some creams, douches, soaps, contraceptive foams should be avoided just after shaving. If you are using a razor, do not shave too fast, do not use an old razor, take time to shave, do not do it in a hurry.

Apply cold compress after shaving and apply moisturizers that contain aloe vera in the shaved area. Since you are having burning sensation, you can apply hydrocortisone cream in the affected area for relieve. Do not touch, scratch or pop. It will get normal after a few hours. If not, probably you developed allergy then take non sedating antihistamine, one stat.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
