Raw skin from shaving?

2017-08-02 18:04:11
A week ago I shaved my pubic area, but a few days later a part of my skin felt raw and burning and then a few days after that, another one showed up and it felt the same way. They are starting to scab over, but I am just worried about it and wondering if it is related to shaving. (sorry if it sounds gross)

You may have developed folliculitis which is very common after shaving of the pubic area. It is caused due to hair root infection from trauma to the hair follicles. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
