Answer 1

I know exactly what you have - they're ingrown hairs. Everyone will really curly hair is a candidate for this.

If - by any chance - you have naturally curly hair on your head (!) you're likely to get ingrown hairs anywhere you've shaved on your body. They DO look and feel like pimples. But not to worry - it's not a disease. It's just that folks with curly hair (wherever it is!) have spiral shaped hair follicles and when we shave, either too aggressively or with a bad razor, we're prone to ingrown hair. You can try a depilatory cream (go for the best and unscented), but they're a mess. Waxing will most definitely cause the same problem as your razor and unless you're into pain, that method is just plain nuts....

Me - I'm saving up for laser hair remove.

It's razor burn. See the link below.

Razor burn is an irritation of the skin caused by shaving with a razor. It appears as a mild rash and usually disappears after a few hours to a few days, depending on severity. In severe cases, razor burn can also be accompanied by razor bumps, where the area around shaved hairs get raised red welts or infected pustules.

Razor burn is a common problem, especially among those who shave coarse hairs on areas with sensitive skin (including the bikini line, underarms, chest, and beard).

The condition can be caused by:

* shaving too closely
* shaving with a blunt blade
* dry shaving
* applying too much pressure when shaving
* shaving too fast
* shaving too roughly

Ways to prevent razor burn include:

* keeping the face moist using a shaving brush and lather
* using a moisturising shaving gel
* shaving in the direction of the hair growth
* resisting the urge to shave too closely
* applying minimal pressure
* avoiding scratching or irritation after shaving
* avoiding irritating products on the shaved area (colognes, perfumes, etc.)
* using an after-shave cream with aloe vera or other emollients
* use a disposable razor cleaning tool to lower bacteria present on the razor head
* use a product like Razor Gator to clean the razor prior to shaving.

Ways to heal razor burn include:

* applying witch hazel
* applying mild salicylic acid solutions
* applying aloe vera gel
* applying water

Answer 3

It's ingrown hairs......It's usually caused by a used razor or not enough hot water to prep the hairs before shaving..... try using a new razor soaked in hot soapy water and use plenty of shaving cream.....

Answer 4

That use to happen to me also. We just have large pores so the hairs get ingrown, it's very common. I use a bump fighter razor and bikini zone lotion after and it works awesome.
