Answer:
Razor burn is an irritation of the skin that can have many causes - in your case the cause was shaving a sensitive area that had never been shaved before.

The WORST thing you can do when you have razor burn is to do anything else that might irritate the skin, and applying creams or lotions will definately irritate it more (because of the fragrances and other ingrediants in creams/lotions).

The best thing to do now is to apply cold cloths to the area several times a day to soothe the skin, and to relieve the itching/burning feeling apply plain aloe vera gel.

Wear soft cotton underwear that fits properly -- not to tight, not to loose because tight or loose can cause friction between fabric and body and you really don't want that additional irritation right now.

Don't let this one experience with razor burn scare you away from shaving the area in the future - but from now on when you shave the bikini area, make sure you are using a bikini area razor (and use a new one each time to prevent razor burn from a dull razor), and plenty of shaving cream or shaving lotion so that the shaving is smooth to reduce irritation.

Shave in the direction that the hair grows (from the thigh inwards on each side, and shaving downwards in the front).

You can find bikini area electric razors that work very well and are made specifically for female bikini shaving, which would also reduce the chances of getting razor burn.

Most of all remember that razor burn usually only lasts for a few days... even the razor burn from "first time bikini" shaving will subside in a few days, so even though it feels horrible right now, it won't feel awful for very long -- and the best part is that the worst is over.. now that you have gotten the "first time" razor burn, the area will be less sensitive when shaving in the future, so as long as you use a good razor and good shaving cream and shave in the right directions, you should never have horrible razor burn again.

But for now, use cool washcloths and plain aloe vera gel to soothe the area.

I hope that helps!!

i read from a magazine tat apply some creams tat have cucumbers in it or use fresh cut slices of cucumbers..tat should ease the burn.hope it helps ...try it..

Use after shave and dont ware panties for the rest of the night.

Burn ointments or other antibiotic creams will solve/prevent infection. For minor razor burns and to protect the skin from irritation when in contact with clothings (which hurts), try applying a thin layer of pure white petroleum jelly.

This usually happens the first few times you shave down there, but afterwards, it is so worth it! Do not put lotion on it, it will make it burn a lot more. I usually do not use shaving cream or after shave lotion. I use conditioner to shave, and then conditioner afterwards to soothe and moisturize it.

Good luck!

well razor burn happens to the best of us....what ever you do dont put any scented lotion on it that will make it worse.im not sure what you can do at the moment to stop the pain but next time you shave make sure your razor is not dull i use a mach 3 turbo for men (it curves to fit your shape) also try pulling the skin tight it kinda lifts the hair for a closer shave and also do short gentle strokes (not long ones like your legs)
but the razor is the key the mach 3's are expensive as far as razors are concerned but totally worth it and since mens facial hair is very course (thick) it works really well on pubes
if you let it gorw back and then go in for another attempt at baldness try trimming it a bit with small sharp scissors before you shave it to make the job easier for the razor
good luck
