Q: Ive Tried Everything!!! Help!!!

I am an 18 yearl old female with minimal sexual contact, just FYI. Ive tried everything to effectively and painlessly shave the bikini area and nothing is working. every time i get ingrown hairs and bumps and irritation. shaving with the grain doesnt work, soaking the hair and skin in the bathtub doesnt work, electric shavers are alright but does not provide a clean shave.
my skin also prone to absesses and ingrown hairs but this is redicculous. is there any thing i can use to prevent it or any type of product that will help me?

i dont think that is a skin disorder... irritations simply come from the shaving due to sensitive skin... have you tried shaving cream?

yes, ive tried shaving cream. i dont know if its a skin disorder. what im saying is that ive tried everything to stop this, and i have this problem all over, its just worse in the bikini area. theres something up with my skin, and my dad has it too, where absesses, sists and other things get under the skin. i dont know why, but its just at its worse there.
