On my legs, I have all these irratated red bumps. I put lotion on and everything after shaving! I don't kno what to do. They don't look attractive and I hate to wear shorts. I use creme and jell to. Help?!

Try using a new razor.It might be that.I get those all the time,but then again,I use a disposable razor twice,which is not good.
Also,use aloe vera after you shave.It might help.
There are creams in beauty shops or Wal-Mart,just for those type of things.
Exfoliating and skin care is also a must.
If you get bothered by it,I suggest,try waxing.I love it.It kinda hurts but takes a while for the hair to grow back.And,when it grows,it grows thinner.And,it doesn't leave any bumps.
Eventually,I might try doing laser treatment.
Some people use Nair,which it doesn't really work for me.But,it might for others.
Good Luck!

Always use a brand new razor. Make sure to use warm water in the shower and make sure you have been in the water for at least 5 minutes. Use a good shaving cream (I like bikini zone anti-bumps gel and my bf even started using it). Use a sensitive skin lotion with NO PERFUMES (the smells they put in lotion can irritate your freshly shaved skin).

Ok this may sound crazy but I swear the stuff works great. There is a shaving cream out there called "Coochy Shave". I kid you not that is what it is called. It is for all over body shaving but I use it for my legs and underarms and I never ever have to worry about red bumps. My skin is as soft as a baby's butt. And yes I have used it for it orginal purpose and it works great. I got mine at a party but if you google it you can find it on line. It costs about 16 bucks for a large bottle and well worth it.

I get them too sometimes. I have very sensitive skin so I use a shave gel formulated for sensitive skin. Make sure you let your legs soak for 5 min in warm water before shaving and then don't apply lotion for at least 30 min after shaving. Another thing that helps is aftershave lotion. Yes, they make this for girls! lol

Make sure your razor is cleaned before you use it EVERY time. Use alcohol or witch hazel. Also, 100% pure tea tree oil is great as an aftershave. You can buy it at any drugstore in the vitamin isle. I also use Aveno Shave gel because it doesnt have all those fragrances and it is medicated to prevent shaving bumps.

Try a better razor. Get one with as many blades as possible I use a mans razor because they give a better shave and with less irritation and use shave gel for sensitive skin. This should help

Try one of those plastic scrubs you can buy at Bath & Body Works etc. If you exfoliate gently each day, the red bumps might become less noticeable.

I get that in my underarm area, just hate it! Bikini Zone gel seems to help somewhat, and I don't get them if I wax/sugar, but then there can be ingrown hairs... I'm eager to know of a faster fix/preventative measure too!

yeah sometimes i have them too, i know this might sound odd but before you sleep splash cold water on your legs, dry it with a towel and in the moring less bumps will appear

I would suggest that you stop haveing and try something like Veet or Nair to remove the unwanted hair.
that is what I would do but that is up to you.
