don't use veet. you are asking for bumps if you use it.
don't mess with them for a few days (even if that means having some stubble) then when they aren't irritated anymore, use an exfoliating body wash before you shave and then when you get out of the shower, rub hydrocortisone cream on the area that you shaved.
then use a gentle deodorant.

Let the hair grow out a little first, then shave with a new razor (different brand), and start using Dove.
Also, you might want to try a product called Bikini Zone (found at CVS or Wallgreens). It's a clear gel designed to prevent the bumps and irritation from shaving in a bikini area, but it works great under your arms too.

Maybe the veet is causing an irritation. Try using something else. I notice that when I use a certain type of deodorant after shaving, I get irritation. It could be a combination of the soap, the veet, and your deodorant.

I get them too but not much. I use Dove deodorant which has moisturizer in it. That seems to help but I will get them sometimes. Maybe even use the Intuition razor. That is the one that has the soap stuff (not sure if it is really all soap though) attached to it. It glides on pretty smooth when you shave.

If its razor burn bumps, Vitamin E seems to help me out. Also, there's a product called Tend Skin thats suppose to be really good for after shaving. You can find it at Sephora.

try exfolitating first..then shaving..then put shea butter cream on..its moisturizes really well. or maybe the bumps are from using the veet. maybe u have a reaction to it.
or u could try cortizone cream it helps get rid of bumps.

Maybe the deodorant make your underarm skin sensitive after shaving. Let you armpits dry for 15 minutes before you apply your deodorant.

You might need to exfoliate under your arm. Let the armpit grow for a little longer to prevent ingrown hairs.

Its called ingrown hairs. You need to exfoliate before you shave. A common rule.
Peace out

change everything, start with a new razor, only use a small amount of regular body soap, then scrub well and rinse completely, also try changing your deodrant
