Because that's a very sensitive place and the acids from the mint extract burn.

Mint contains menthol, which can cause a cooling sensation when applied to the skin. However, if your skin is sensitive or if there are any open cuts or irritations, the menthol in the mint shower gel can cause a burning sensation instead of a cooling one. It's best to avoid using mint shower gel near sensitive areas or broken skin to prevent this discomfort.
