I have these tiny bumps on my left leg that are red and itchy. I would say maybe it was "ingrown hairs" from shaving (3 days ago), but there are none on my right leg. I've heard women often get leg warts from shaving though. GOD I hope that's not what these are... but what would those look like?

There are about 5 bumps ranging from about 1/2 inch to 5 inches from each other, and they're all located on the front of my leg below the knee.

CORRECTION: i didn't mean that women get leg warts FROM shaving; but i do know that once you have the HPV virus somewhere, it can spread easily by shaving (b/c of the scraping of the active virus, by the razor) and cause warts to spread to other places. So if you have the virus on your ankle, for example, you could spread it to your knee by shaving.

Warts are usually skin colored/white and look like mini cauliflowers. Warts are not caused by shaving. What you have sounds like razor bumps
