This is razor burn. I've used the razor you are talking about and it's good if you're going to travel and you don't want to lug around more stuff then necessary but it's really not great in the moisturizing departement.
The red spots are not going to go away for a few days. If you want to wear the skirt wear a some funky bright colored tights with them or wear it over jeans it still looks cool and it covers up the burn.
In the future always shave toward the end of your shower. The best razors are men's razors. I don't know why but for some reasn women's razors are more concerened with making it pretty then making it functional. Use shaving cream and moisturize right after you get out of the shower, prefrably while you are still in the steamy bathroom. Use baby lotion or baby oil.
And don't worry about the dots, they'll be gone before you shave again.

Whatever you're shaving with it sounds like it's breaking you out. I have the same problem. The only thing I can shave with is non scented shaving cream. I actually get the barbasol men's non scented stuff at walmart and I haven't had any problems with it. Also make sure you're using a fairly new razor cause that can cause bumps as well. And as far as as smooth, take your time and use a little pressure when shaving. It'll get deeper in the skin and make the shave last longer before you get stubbles.

i've done that to several times before and got little red bumps all over my legs. i don't think there is really anything to do to help it but it does take a few days to heal. if it still burns put aloe vera on it. i did that and it make the burning go away.

this is either razor burn or an allergic reaction. your hair folicles are probably enflamed. You can try an antibiotic ointment on the irritation but it might not be enough. Wear nylons.
