So I was diagnosed ghsv1 about a month ago and my first ob cleared up completely except a really awful itch. Nothing really helped. I thought another was coming or maybe the first was still around. I don’t know still new to this. I’ve been dying to shave again and considered waxing. I have only waxed once in my life and had a terrible reaction. I bled and my skin is just so sensitive so I said I have to shave again and if I get an outbreak oh well now I know. So I bit the bullet and shaved. THE ITCH IS GONE. Had a little itch that day which I’ve always had after shaving. I’d love to know if anyone has tried sugaring wax and if they have good luck with that. I just hate razor burn and have heard it’s better for sensitive skin.
Anyway thought id share my experience. Shaving so far is wayyy better then leaving hair. The hair was causing the itch and irritation for me. Good luck ladies and gents 🙂
