Treatment
If you're already suffering from razor bumps, keep the following points in mind:
Before anything else, let your hair grow out for a while and give your skin a rest before shaving again (a minimum of three days).
Bumps can get infected fairly easily, so tend to them immediately. Using a local antibiotic will probably help, especially if there's a cut.
Don't pick at or squeeze bumps. That will tend to make things worse.
soothes and heals razor bumps on the face, bikini area, and body. Since the ingredients will not stay stable for long, mix a fresh batch every time.
Ingredients:
3 drops glycerin (available at any drugstore)
1/4 cup water
2 aspirin
1. Mix ingredients in a bowl until aspirin dissolves.
2. Apply this soothing toner to affected areas with a cotton ball, and let it sink into your skin.

interesting...leave the pits alone overnight or for a couple of days.
I'm a man & I can wash my pits with hot soapy water 3 times a day & still have b o lol. And deoderant ect just covered up bo some.
I finally decided that I have stinky armpit hair & shaved the hair off.
Guess what no more b o.
Armpit hair really does hold b o odors.
Safety razors that use shaving cream irritate face & armpit skin.
Take it from a dude I know. If you do use a safety razor buy good quality razors & shave cream then dry the pits really well & wait 1/2 - 1 hour before applying deoderant ect.
A careful dry skin shave with a safety razor works well too it takes practice though.
Heres what happens hot water makes the underarm skin cells swell up & you guessed it razor burn & bumps.
Since shaving I rarely need deoderant just a quick soap up does fine if I get sweaty working in the yard ect.
Electric foil type razors are the "natural" way to make your armpits feel better. Pumice for feet & maybe legs & hair removal chemicals will prob irritate the soft underarm skin.

First of all you might want to stop using razors. There are so many products out there that remove hair without using razors. Some even come with the cream that you put on underarm then wipe. After your skin clears up. Avoid putting on deodorant at night when going to sleep. Just put powder under your arm to keep you from smelling bad. I would also suggest that you take vitamins for the skin. If you choose to continue to use razors. Only shave arm at night while using shaving cream with aloes and after shaving underarm you can put aloe gel underarm. It will smell bad, but you will not have razor bumps the next day.

use shaving cream for sensitive skin. Aveeno makes one that works for my daughter.
