Itchy and Dry Peeling Skin Around My Vagina?

Question

How come every time i don't shave my vagina for awhile as soon as i do shave the skin aroun my vagina becomes very itchy, red, and dry to the point where it starts to peel? I notice its only when i don't shave for a long time so its not everytime i shave and its worse in the Winter. I don't think its yeast infection because its only lasts about a day before it goes away and its not a std because i never had sex before and it isn't like hives or anything. This has been going on for about a year now and i still don't no what it is

It sounds like razor burn. You're shaving some very sensitive skin down there.
There are some products available for this, but I've also found that A&D ointment or a product called "Bump Stopper" from the ethnic care section of walmart works.

Answer 2

my guess would be the kind of moisturizer that you use, not to mention the cold weather tends to dry skin more and shaving probably just irritates it, I would take it up with an OBGYN, I bet it's nothing but best to get a real doctor to check it out. I know sounds like a lot of fun.

Answer 3

When you shave there, you are exfoliating the area. I would apply body lotion around there too keep it from peeling.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

probably because you dont use shaving cream down there. don't use shaving cream though, none of us do. Use soap when shaving. It's probably jst dry skin.

Answer 5

Try eating more olive oil. Also, use an aloe gel to heal the skin before you shave.
