Is this lotion Amlactin over the counter or prescription? I tryied to look it up on the net as a prescription drug and had no luck finding it too. I also have this problem and shaving really aggrevates it so my dr said if i want it to go away, just don't shave (can't u tell he's a male?!? lol!) I've switched to an electric razor and that has helped quite a bit, although it takes longer and doesn't get as close a shave. I'm wondering about this lotion Alicia mentioned.
