Cutting my pubic hair resulted in it itching and hurting for a week or so. How do I prevent this?

My pubic hair was a little "over grown" and I though it looked kinda strange, so I gave it like a 1/2 inch trim. When I did this though, it kinda hurt and itched for about a week. I have no idea why... I thought it would be no different than if you cut your hair on any other place on your body.I guess I was wrong... Is there any way to prevent the itch after you give it a slight trim?

Maybe there is some info in the article below that can give you some tips for future shaving. For now, put "itch" cream on it. It is OK, you didn't permanently damage yourself or anything. I have shaved public hair on me and it was very itchy for at least a week. Made me regret doing it. This will sound absurd but the pubic hair is coarse. When you trim it, you are making the edges all even and it is like little 'hard pieces of hair' now sticking up. If you put shampoo conditioner on the hair when you shower and then rinse, it will soften the hair. I know, sounds bizarre. But because pubic hair is coarse, this is one way to soften it when you are having the kind of problem you are describing. Even putting hair conditioner on it that you leave in. The kind of hair conditioner that you would use on your scalp that is. Some of it you don't wash out. What you want is to soften the hairs.

probably you might have cut it too short and instead of curling under pressure it poked into yours skin, making you notice it's there, and made you itchy. just don't cut it as short next time.

This is puzzling. If you cut it too short then the regrowth would cause itching. Next time you decide to do this make sure you wash very good first then use some gold bond medicated powder. Hopefully this will help.

I have had the same problem and i found that the reason they itch is because the hair is rubbing against your skin and irritating it the best thing to do is cut the in the bath and make sure they are not too short. The best thing to do is get you hair permanently or semi-permanently removed by being waxed or by shaving the hair as it will be less irritating if completely removed. However if you are just looking for a solution use a little moisturizer everyday after you wash.
