What Is The Red Rash That Burns After Shaving The Area Around Penis?

I just shaved my balls and between my balls and anus now I have a red rash that kinda burns. I didn't check the razor I always use but I'm sure it was bad, I threw it Away before I could look. Anyways what can I do or what should I do or what the heck is this. I'm nervous. I've been doing this for years and never had an issue

hello,
the most common thing which causes rash in the groin, thigh folds and anus region is fungal infection(mostly tenia curis)
if its a day or two old you can prevent is by
> keeping the groin area clean dry by drying off thoroughly after bathing and putting on dry clothing right away after swimming or perspiring.
> avoid sharing cloths
> wearing loose cotton underwear
> avoiding tight-fitting clothes
> using antifungal powders or lotions
in case if symptoms get worsen immediately visit a dermatologist
hope this will solve your problem
