 yeah it's really normal I always get itchy and somepeople suffer from really bad in grown hairs which lucky for me I haven't... Just try some hair removal stuff and see if it makes it feel alot better but tbh it only itches because the hair is growing back! X

 omg your not alone lol. i have the same problem. i use non scented lotion were it really itches. it helps jist dont put it anywere near your vagina.use shave cream not body scrub or anything as usually the cream protects against irriataion and bumps. use the sensitive cream as it has aloe and will reduce that icky itching :)

Yeah it does really whatever you do bit but using shaving cream, a new razor and savlon on the area afterwards can help.

Use baby powder afterwards, it helps stop rashes and ingrown hairs. Use hair conditioner or a conditioned moisturiser to help with the itching. And as long as you dont let it grow back it shouldnt itch too much, you'll get used to it.

 Yes it's normal and when hairs start to grow back no matter what you use it will itch a bit.
Hygiene is a must make sure you have a hot shower and use a new razor down there, there are plenty of sensitive pre-shave creams and foams on the market so find one of them.
Shave carefully rinsing your razor after every stroke, and when you are done rinse off with cool water (this closes your pours) pat dry with a clean towel, and wait for about an hour, then you can apply something like savalon or sudocreme, which are antiseptic creams, which will help prevent getting small infections and spots.
If it continues to be itchy after shaving just keep the area clean and use the creams I mentioned above.
(just remember that people can have reactions to certain medications so it will be worth making sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients and if you have and doubt check with a doctor first)
