I've never heard that but from a biological perspective, its as silly as "toothpaste will make a hicky go away." I assume you're talking about shaving your bikini line? The bumps are an irritation, hair follicles left behind or you have a really bad razor. Deoderant will make it worse and likely sting.
Waxing is a better option if you have the problem all the time. To try to prevent it, make sure you have a new/good razor, use HOT water on your skin before hand, proper shaving cream/foam, hot water after, do not rub dry, pat, use a non-scented body lotion afterwards and be careful of what kind of underwear you wear, a tight or rough leg elastic will make it worse. Also, it take a LONG time for you skin to get use to being treated like this, could be a couple of years. Another thing is that depending on the angle of the hair, you could get red bumps when it grows back as your skin is reacting to "in grown hairs" until they break out of the skin again. Oh yes, and make sure the hair is fully grown back before you shave again, like about a cm or so, until you "toughen up" your skin GREATLY!
Good Luck.

Try using witch hazel or baby lotion. Deodorant will probably cause the area to become inflamed. You really need to get some Bikini Zone cream or Tend Skin lotion for razor bumps. I also recommend shaving that area with an electric shaver instead of a razor. Razors have a tendency to cause the skin to become more sensitive if you use them regularly.

that is probable from shaving and then the section being annoyed with the aid of rubbing up against the adult adult males once you had intercourse. in case you shave lots, waxing is definitely a extra ideal thank you to flow. it is going to reason much less inflammation and final longer. in case you quite do no longer prefer to wax, there are shave gels and additionally some creams you may get that are rather for that section which will help shrink inflammation. yet once you are going to have dissimilar intercourse companions, you quite could initiate using safety via fact which you on no account understand...you should get an STD which will destroy your existence or you should get pregnant and not even understand who the father is. think of roughly what your existence is well worth...i'm advantageous that is no longer well worth intercourse and not using a condom.

i used to be on a swim team and it was really frustrating when wede get shaving irritation......and i dunno bout the rest of these people but wede always put deoderant on them and it made them go away way faster....and if u put it on right after u shave it helps to make them not appear at all...i think its because deoderant has a lot of soothing things in it, so u dont get irritated under ur arms when u shave. ide say go ahead and try it, it worked for me!
