  • I have bumps all over the areas on my legs where I shave. I just can't seem to get rid of them. Does anybody else have this problem or know how to take care of it? I appreciate ...show more

  • Answer:

    ok well first change the shaving cream you use. use shaving gel and make sure its a sensitive skin one. Then after you shave make sure that you lotion your legs down and make sure you do that daily. Another reason could be that you're shaving too hard. Try to slightly ease up on the razor when you shave. Well I hope i helped!

other then waxing i say you should get your legs well lubricated with something form the body shop like their creme (coconut) and then wash them and then apply the cream and shave. works great, i know im a guy and all but i do shave too... try it before you knock it, plus your skin gets soooo soft,. promise

"Treating razor bumps and barber's rash involves letting the hair grow without shaving for 3 - 4 weeks. In that time, hair grows enough to actually "spring out" by the hair follicle. Some people find that a mild topical corticosteroid cream helps reduce inflammation and pain. Benzoyl peroxide also helps by reducing bacteria. Apply it sparingly, since it can be irritating to sensitive skin. If your barber's rash is severe, your primary care provider will diagnose this and perhaps prescribe medication and/or antibiotics. People can help prevent razor bumps and barber's rash by: * using warm water to soften the skin and hairs before shaving; shaving right after a shower. * applying shaving cream, foam, or soap in the opposite direction of hair growth (usually upward), moisturizing your skin as well as hair. * shaving the easier areas first: the jawline, cheeks, and neck. * shaving in the direction of hair growth (usually downward). * not stretching your skin taut. * rinsing your razor thoroughly after each use and replacing your blades every week or more often if necessary. Shaving in the opposite direction of hair growth and stretching the skin taut are two methods of getting the closest shave, which unfortunately increase the likelihood of razor bumps and barber's rash. These techniques, as well as using razors with two or three blades, attempt to cut the hair underneath the actual skin line, inadvertently making it easier for those hairs to then poke back into the skin. Using an electric razor gently against the skin is another option to help prevent razor bumps or barber's rash."
