Suggest Me Medication For Redness And Itchy Pubic Area After Shaving?

I shaved my pubic region for the first time about 12 hours ago, and now it has become quite irritable and itchy with various red dots all over. I was just wondering, would using sudocrem relieve the itch? As I don t currently have any other creams about.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to be due to the rough shaving, and cuts and scratches.
There is possibility of getting the bacterial super infection over the scratches.Though there is no infection there could be some irritation, and itching for few days after the shaving.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe, to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin, ornidazole, and some after shave lotion.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
