I shaved this morning, and my legs hurt like a sunburn after words. Then at like 3, my skin still hurt, and it looks like i have a rash. What is it, and how do i get rid of it?

It's a razor burn, usually happens when you shave with no soap or shaving cream. I don't know for sure, but perhaps neosporin will help? It does everything. My sister uses lotion on her legs after shaving to prevent it, because it can show up even if you used shaving cream. I'm thinking it should go away in about a week and a half.

Sounds like you might have an old razor. Use shaving cream or baby oil, but be careful if using baby oil in the shower--the floor will get really slippery. Sounds like you have razor burn from either pushing too hard or using an old razor.

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.
Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

i don't really think that you can get rid of it really... i've gotten it a few more then a few times.. but i think it's caused by a dull razer when you press hard to get it to work....
