Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Itching can happen due to irritation and inflammation or certain types of skin allergy.You should check the razor with which you had shaved that part. There could be some allergens. May be the allergens were already there and it got agitated when you shaved the area. in any case, to treat itching for the time being, you can use warm water. Clean the area with warm water twice or thrice. Fix an appointment with a dermatologist and consult him.
