Brief Answer:
Irritated skin. Always use protection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I have reviewed the attached image. This is most likely suggestive of irritated skin from the shaving razor. Please, be advised protected intercourse as it's always the safe choice. Not only it protects against infections but against unwanted pregnancy. I highly recommend this: consistently and correctly.

To address the irritated skin, clean daily with lukewarm water and mild soap, at least twice. Avoid constantly picking on it as this can delay healing and cause further infectious complications.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
Feel free to follow up with me if needed.

Kind regards

Apply hydrocortisone cream!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Apply hydrocortisone 1% cream. This should relief the itches. It is not likely to be an infection and you need no antibiotics as of now.

I wish you well.
