Brief Answer:
try avoid hair remover

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
There is nothing wrong in shaving pubic hair.
Razor use is recommended in your case because you may be allergic to some content of hair removal cream.
Avoid further exposure to cream. If symptoms persist then it may be sexually transmitted infection particularly so if you have exposure to little known contacts.
If you have only one trusted partenerthen ask him if he has any symptoms.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
