Razor burn - bikini Line

[Deleted]

I get it so bad. We have a BBQ and I am going to be in my bathing suit. Anyone have any remedies or tricks so it's not so bad?

You could try hydrocortisone cream. Do they sell that over the counter in the US?

Deodorant. No joke. I tried it this weekend and it actually worked. I just used Dove, bc that's what I had. I think I heard that tip here/TN at one point.

We do have hydrocortisone OTC here as well, hanna. Never tried it for razor burn though.

Tend Skin (I think CVS, Walgreens sell it in the shaving aisle).

I like Bikini Zone, which is a lidocaine cream. I normally apply it right after shaving, but it might be worth a shot at this point.

I've never heard of applying deoderant. I wonder why it works.

I use hydrocortisone cream mixed in with lotion every time after I shave and I rarely get razor burn.

I second deodorant. I use it on ingrowns and the swelling goes down immediately.

I use hydrocortisone, and I make sure to NEVER shave against the hair growth. If I do, I get ingrowns, but if I don't, I'm fine.

This is why I'm getting laser hair removal. No more razor burn. I got a groupon for $120 for 4 treatments. I need 4 more at a cost of $50/each, so for $320 plus tips I never have to shave again.
