??red bumps??

Question

help i have red bumps under my armpits when i shave and its really embarrasing what can i do???

Answer 1

its razor bumps or ingrown hairs... start using shaving cream when u have and only shave every few days.... that way u won't irritate ur skin so much

Answer 2

those are ingrown hairs. To prevent them exfoliate with some kind of scrub before shaving. Shave in a really hot shower as the heat will soften the hair shaft. Use a really nice cream. Allow them to heal before shaving again. A good product for razorbumps or ingrown hairs is called Tendskin.

Answer 3

I have found that a razor that has only been used on your armpits and no where else helps. If you have shaved your legs with a razor and then shaved your bikini line that will cause bumps also.

Answer 4

if you are change your razor or blade everytime you shave. razors are breeding grounds for bacteria. if you ue a razor more than once you are mixing dead skill cells, hair, and other bacteria from the skin and shower, and in a sense cutting yourself. its almost like stepping on a dirty nail. the bacteria can cause irritation and lead to ingrown hairs that cause the bumps. also use a shaving gel or good moisturizing soap. you can also apply alittle baby oil and powder to the area after you shave, if this doesnt help i dont know what would.

Answer 5

Try using some moisturizing shave gel for sensitive skin when you shave. Don't shave dry and soap can irritate.

Answer 6

try waxing,smtimes sme skin are very sensitive so shavin irritates the skin,try waxin n see how it goes.but if u still want to shave,den b4 shavin put sme baby oil under ur arms,den ur shavin cream,den shave.after shavin but sme moisturiser.never use perfumes within 24 hours of shavin or waxing.
