Summer is around the corner and so is bikini weather. How do you guys deal with pubic hair/bikini lines? Shaving irritates my pubic area way too much and causes even more severe flare ups. Has anyone tried waxing/sugar waxing at home? Does waxing irritate the same way shaving does?
I mainly get flare ups on my crotch, inner thighs, and buttocks. It's probably my biggest insecurity and it affects my everyday life. I can't shave, I can't wear underwear or any tight pants, and when I get boils/pimples it takes forever for them to heal because they appear in the worst places possible (next to my literal butthole for example, like really???).
Not only is life difficult with them but it's also a cosmetic issue. I used to be a confident young woman and now I'm too embarrassed to even undress in front of my husband. This has obviously negatively affected our sex life as well because tmi I also get very painful flare ups on my vulva. My husband is the biggest sweetheart and truly doesn't care, he always helps me with creams and bandaids etc. but him not caring doesn't make me feel much better because I CARE.
I started medication a few months ago because this condition has affected my mental health severely.
Now summer is here again and I can't wear anything other than flowy dresses. I've always loved swimming at the beach but once again it's not possible because a) I have open wounds everywhere and b) I can't wear bikinis due to them hurting like hell. Is my life going to be like this forever? 😭 Sorry for the long rant, I'm just so tired.
