How do I get rid of razor burn?

Question

I have razor burn on my lower leg, it is little red bumps. What do I do to get rid of it?

Answer 1

Apply a soothing cream or ointment, and wait for it to heal. Avoid direct sun on the area. Try Palmers cocoa butter lotion, or maybe something like Neosporin if it's very irritated.

Answer 2

Aloe Vera has been used for centuries to soothe chafed skin. There really is no easy way to get rid of razor burns, time is the best healer.

However, we can try to speed up the healing and also try to avoid it in the future.  So cover the affected area with aloe vera gel or cream if you already have a razor burn. Tea tree oil also has anti-bacterial properties and is good for the skin. They are both available in health food stores. Chamomile skin wash (Chamomile powder mixed with warm water) or powdered oatmeal bath also helps expedite healing.

To avoid razor burn, wet the area with cream first, let it soak for a few minutes, use a sharp razor, shave in the direction of the hair growth, avoid repeating strokes and always follow up with natural aloe gel treatment.

Hope this helps.
