Is there a product or a cream that can help with razor bumps, burns and ingrown hair around the bikini area?

I exfoliate at least twice a week and I use products for sensitive skin but after I shave I always have ingrown hairs of razor burns that are very uncomfortable. I heard about hydrocortisone but I’m not very familiar with it.

Hi there,

Yes, we could try hydrocortisone 0,5% twice a day on the bumps, but we need to make sure to not apply the product inside the vulva.

I suggest you give it a try for 2 to 3 weeks. If it is not working well enough, please reach back to me.

Have a great night,

Alexandre
