Bikini shaving rash

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas... I shave my bikini line and get a nasty looking red rash a day or two later. I tried waxing and got in grown hairs. I have suffered from pcos though am now 44 so maybe that's no longer as relevant, but always steered clear of laser because of that. I've tried some special shaving gel for women, tried always shaving with the grain, tried always using a new blade. Still happens. Looks almost worse than the hair sticking out! Any suggestions???

What happens when you use hair removal creams?

Might try that! Haven't thought about that stuff in so many years!! Forgot it existed to be honest!

Wait til the end of your shower before shaving so the pores are more open, gently pat the area dry, then use baby oil. I had the same problem until I started doing this.

Thanks for the tip. Will try this before trying removal creams.
