how to stop itching from hair growing back
Hey Eli, do you have any tips on how to stop the itching when your hair starts growing back? It's driving me crazy!
Hey! Yeah, I've been there. The trick is to keep the skin moisturized. Use a lotion that's gentle on your skin. It helps soothe the itchiness.
Any particular lotion you recommend?
I usually go for something with aloe or shea butter. They're pretty good at calming irritated skin. Just make sure it's fragrance-free to avoid any irritation.
Got it, I'll try that. What about shaving? Should I do anything different?
For sure. Use a sharp razor to prevent tugging the hairs. Also, shave in the direction of hair growth and not against it. This can reduce irritation and itchiness when the hair starts to grow back.
I've heard exfoliating might help, is that true?
Absolutely. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and can help prevent ingrown hairs. Just don't go overboard, be gentle to avoid making it worse.
Thanks, Eli. What if it’s still itchy after all this?
You could try a hydrocortisone cream for a few days if it's really bad, but don't rely on it too much. If it persists, it might be worth checking in with a dermatologist.
Understood, thanks for the help, Hawk!
No problem! Glad I could help. Just hit me up if you need anything else. Remember, healing takes time. Patience is key, just like in Miyagi-Do.
