So the thing is, I had a regular amount of hair down there for a 39 year old woman. And for some reason, the other day I was unbearably itchy down there, and the thought of pubic lice crept into my mind (though highly unlikely) and I immediately went and shaved the entire area completely bare, thinking that was the best course of action to take..

Now, 3 days in, I'm insanely and unbearably itchy from the razor burn and regrowth...I have so many little red bumps everywhere and it itches like a mofo. So instead of solving my problem I created an even bigger one. I am sure I didn't have lice.. though I still don't know what caused the initial itch. It wasn't a yeast infection or anything like that this was purely on top/outside part where the pubic hair is - not internal. Anyway... Lesson learned. Will not be shaving like that ever again. This is agony.

Any tips on how to deal with extreme razor burn are welcome.

TL;DR:

I shaved my pubes bc they were itchy and now I have extreme razor burn that itches even more.
