Question

I know that I shouldn't have, but a guy pressured me into shaving my pubic hair and I didn't bother to research how to most effectively do it and am suffering the consequences. I think I either nicked or razor burnt the tissue near my vagina it stings when I pee or put aloe on it. What can I do to soothe the discomfort?

Answer

I am so so sorry! You can try sitting in a bath of warm water a couple times a day, kep the area clean and dry, egg whites can seal the area so that your urine does not sting so much, and that is all I can think of. Please, if the area gets red or oozes - please see a doctor!
