Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on your history, the symptoms suggest you are experiencing allergic reaction over your gential region probably due to chemicals present in the shaving foam you have used.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Cleanse the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. After it dries, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the affected area.
3. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments preferably made of cotton.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely.
Be careful while you use such foam or cream in such sensitive regions of the body.
Hope the information provided helps.
Wish you speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
