Bumps after shaving my legs?

Question

I just started to shave my legs and i've done my legs a few times but i did it just now the way my mum told me and when i came out the shower there was some bumps which i no is hair under my skin because i can see then but how do i get rid of it ? Help? 13 years.

Answer 1

Those are called ingrown hairs. The easiest way to get rid of those is with a pair of tweezers, but it will hurt and you will still be able to see where it was with a red mark. To stop getting those do not shave every day. Leave at least a few days where you do not shave in between the days that you do. When you shave you should soak in a hot or warm bathtub for at least 10 to 15 minutes before shaving. It is best to use shave gel or conditioner on the parts of your body that you shave. Right after shaving you should rub baby oil on the shaved skin or a good lotion.  

Answer 2

That happens to everyone who aves

You could try waxing your legs

If you wanna keep shaving i think theres a moisturising cream you can buy from bliss

i cant remember what its called but im sure youll find it if you go on their website

:)

Answer 3

They are not hair under your skin, I am assuming your razor is blunt. What way did your mum tell you to shave. I get the bumps when I use my disposable razors 2 or 3 times with the same one.

Answer 4

you could try using a nappy rash cream...i know it sounds silly but it will help soothe your skin if its irritated from shaving, what i usually do is after shaving use baby oil on wet skin and pat dry with a clean towel and then apply the nappy rash cream. The one i use is called Sudocrem its really thick and lasts for ages!

Answer 5

this happens all the time, they go away after a bit. just moisturize your legs when you get out
