I've been noticing that the area around my scrotum is getting darker over the past four years. I've been using a razor to clean my pubic hair, and I'm wondering if I can use bleaching on my private parts to lighten the skin there. Could hydroquinone help make my genitals lighter?

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.
