What does razor burn look like on a pubic area
Skin irritation and tenderness
When you have a shaving rash on your pubic area, you will notice that close-fitting clothing can irritate the skin and it can feel sore when touched. This is because one of the causes of razor burn is dried-out skin.A burning or hot sensation
Beyond mere irritation and tenderness, pubic skin can feel as though it is hot with a highly localised burning sensation. If so, you are likely to also notice some redness in the affected area.Small, red bumps
The presence of bumps after shaving pubic hair is common. Unless you take steps for an effective shaving rash treatment, these pubic razor bumps may turn red and start to feel sore.How to treat razor burn on your pubic area

How to prevent razor burn on pubic areas after shaving
Use a razor designed for pubic hair
Our Gillette Venus Pubic Hair & Skin Razor is designed for the intimate body parts that can be more susceptible to soreness. To help avoid shaving rash on pubic areas, our razor has a smaller head and a precision trimmer on the back of the blades meaning you can shave with a lighter touch.Shave on wet skin only
Don't underestimate the role water has to play in helping to prevent razor burn on pubic areas. Shower or bathe before shaving and don't dry yourself off completely either. Water will help your gel and razor lubricants to do their job properly and help your razor glide through the hydrated hair.Use shaving gel
Don't shave without a suitable gel, cream or shaving foam. Pubic Hair & Skin Smoothing Cleanser and Shave Gel is a product designed to cleanse and offer adequate protection from razor burn. What's more, it is clear, helping you to see what you're doing, another good way to prevent a shaving rash on your pubic area.Shaving in the direction of hair growth
Don't 'go against the grain' when shaving pubes. Instead, follow the natural direction of your hair growth to minimise irritation to the hair follicles.Exfoliate
Exfoliating the area will help remove dead skin cells and sebum, helping clear the skin for the shave.Apply serum after shaving
A serum will help maintain skin hydration post-shave. Help your skin feel cool and silkier after shaving with the Daily Ingrown Serum, which has been formulated to support the skin’s natural renewal process. Use a pH-balanced product that won't irritate your skin with each application.
