try a different razor and replace them more frequently. use a different shaving lotion and exfoliate your skin before with a shower gel. then use a lotion after.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but here is what works for me. After you shave and are out of the shower and dry, rub your legs down with deodorant. The kind that is a solid. The jell or spray will not work. I use Secret that is a solid but goes on clear. I have also used Suave and it worked. I hope this helps you.

First, you need to stop shaving for awhile. It'll be hard but you have to let your skin heal. Once your skin is healed, try not to shave so often. It's really not good for your legs to shave frequently, especially if your shaving everyday. Try using an electric shaver so that it is not so rough on the top layer of your skin.

The red bumps could be an allergic reaction to the cream, gel, and whatever other methods you used. I would advice you putting some lotion. Bath & Body Works lotion works wonders and helps irritation and the bumps go away.

probably skin irritation from cutting very close. try using shaving cream or some pre-shave lotion.
