I used a razor to shave my female genitalia. The next day I felt burns and now it's constantly itching. What can I do?

Shaving heavily hair-bearing areas such as the groin can result into a local trauma which can trigger some dermatological problems such as folliculitis characterized by erythema (redness) with perifollicular pustules (collection of pus near hair follicles). This can cause local pain & itching. Treatment includes good hygiene, removing the offending irritant (razor) along with some topical agents that can reduce the inflammatory process.
