Shaving or waxing can trap hairs under the skin. If this happens, pause hair removal, soak in warm water, and gently exfoliate to let the hairs break free.

10. Facing vulvodynia

Vulvodynia brings chronic vulvar pain that can burn or stab. Though the cause is unclear, the pain is real. Cool packs or warm Epsom baths may soothe it. Persistent pain calls for a gynecologist, who might suggest pelvic floor therapy or medication. You are not alone; effective help exists.
