I wasn't sure where to put this. I figured it would either go in the mature topics forum or the AB forum, and since there's nothing too explicit here I'm guessing the AB forum is the best place...
Anyway, I've got a bit of a problem. Normally my skin is pretty resilient. Never had any problems with rashes and when it comes to shaving my face I never use shaving cream and never have any problems. However, whenever I shave my diaper area my skin suddenly becomes very sensitive. See, after I shave everything's fine and dandy. But if I try to put on a diaper and use it afterward I get hundreds of small red bumps that stay around for weeks afterward. Now I figured this was due to infection so the last time I did it I waited about three days or so before putting on a diaper but it still happened. I use shaving cream and shave in the shower too so that isn't the problem either. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and, more importantly, if they know how to prevent it from happening. I'm thinking its a problem with ingrown hairs so does anyone have any advice on how to avoid that in this case? I know that with face shaving you're supposed to splash cold water on first, then shave in the direction the hair grows (or something like that), and then wash off with hot water. But when it comes to something like shaving a diaper area I don't much cherish the thought of taking a cold shower that long and I don't even known in which direction I would be supposedly shaving either (I normally just go down toward the legs).
Anyway, I hate to discuss this sort of thing since it makes me feel like some creepy perv but its something I'd really like to get solved since it would make my life a lot easier in terms of changing (only one working shower in the whole house and its the one connected to my mom's bedroom so you can imagine the hassle that causes).
