Is something wrong with my skin?

Question

Im a gurl and i shave my arms but sometimes i will get little red bumps in a spot and sometimes all over my arms. they dont have a head or anything so i thot they wasnt pimples but i keep getting them. i'll go for a week or so without getting them and then out of the blue i'll start gettin them again. so, whats wrong with me? I dont think its razor burn either.

Answer 1

it's called razor burn. it happens when you save sensitive areas. arms aren't meant to be shaved so it will continue to happen... try using lotion afterwards. or try waxing them instead. and about the comment earlier... it's not true that your hair grows back thicker, darker, and faster if you shave. that's a complete myth, ask a doctor.

Answer 2

After reading this it seems that you watch to much TV and let media brain wash you. I used to think that way about myself because I was picked on by black americans almost all my life. But something told me to look up the positive. Ask yourself some questions. First what were my ancestors like before slavery?Look up stuff like the great kingdom of Benin or Ashanti. Second What did Africans contribute to North and South American culture? Look up stuff like the Afro Brazilian culture in Brazil or Martinique.Third Do I really have to act ghetto to be black? No. There are many countries that act different than being ghetto. Even in Africa. The act of being black doesn't exist.Last should I hate my race because of what I see on TV? Depends.That's if you believe in them. You look at it as if all blacks are thugs and ghetto.But it will be no surprise if a black person of a darker skin tone begins to out shine you. I'm a black american and I don't fall under stereotypes. I'm just myself.

It might be razor burn and in that case, some lotion will help. It could also be a skin reaction or allergy to a cleanser, shaving cream, lotion, perfume, or other beauty and skin care product you use. Try using another products (single out one at a time) and see if the rashes go away. In the meantime try using Cortisone-10 or Benedryl lotion to help clear up the rash.

Answer 4

They sound like razor bumps. Why are you shaving your arms? See a dermatologist about the bumps and the hair.

Answer 5

Razor burn. I get the same thing in places were i shave. Most people do. Try a more mosturizing soap or shaving cream to sofen your skin. Try not to use any lotion afterwards but if you have to, get a water based one so your skin doesnt get so irratated.

Answer 6

It could be razor burn or ingrown hair. Just make sure you're using a new razor with a sharp blade and waiting a bit before you put on deodorant.

Answer 7

Calm down your not gonna die okay.

You may have razer burn or dry/sensitive skin.

Change your blade or buy a new razer that dosn't do that. You can also try changing shaving cream to a sensitivity one. When your done shaving put lotion on your legs to keep them moistured.

Hope I helped and best of luck!

Answer 8

Sometimes when you irritate hair roots in sensitive areas it can cause little pimple type things to form. Its almost like ingrown hairs. Try rubbing a stridex pad on your arms when you start to see them appear.

Answer 9

It's called excema and a lot of people get it on their arms. shaving your arms is helping to cause it. Don't use scented soaps or lotions. It is incurable but you can keep the outbreaks down with Eucerin lotion or perscribed creams like Cutivate.
Sorry :(

Answer 10

I think it is razor burn or razor bumps. Maybe you could try waxing instead?
