I've been dealing with some pretty annoying itching in my vaginal area after shaving, and it's really uncomfortable. I'm worried because it's getting in the way of my everyday activities. I would love to know what I can use to stop this itching quickly. Why does it happen after shaving, and how can I make it go away fast?

To help alleviate the itching, you can use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream to the affected area up to three times a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine such as cetirizine to help reduce itching. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. It is also important to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If the itching persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been using Panderm plus cream for the last six months, and it made my skin really fair. But now I'm starting to get a lot of pimples on my face. I'm worried because I read somewhere online that using Panderm plus for too long can make your skin permanently sensitive to the sun. Do you think my face will clear up and become pimple-free again?

Panderm plus cream contains clobetasol, neomycin, and miconazole. Prolonged use of clobetasol can lead to skin thinning, acne, and increased sensitivity to the sun. To treat the pimples on your face, you can use a gentle cleanser and apply a topical acne treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. You can also consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
