I shave my arm pits..?

Question

and now when i do it there is little red bumps is it cause of the razor i am using or what please help me i use the venusit is blue it has three little blades what shoud i do?!??!?!?!

Answer 1

The same thing happens to me but it's only when I don't have a sharp blade or if I don't use enough soap

Answer 2

Its just razor burn, i get it too you might be pushing too hard when ur shaving... try shaving up rather then down

Answer 3

exfoliate under your arms once the bumps have gone away

get a hot facewasher

as hot as you can handle

and put it under your arm before you shave

leave it there for a couple of minutes

then use conditioner instead of soap

and use a sharp razor

afterwards you should get a warm facewasher and wash away the conditioner and then get acold facewasher and put it under your arm for a couple minutes to soothe it

you could also use ice un a freezer bag to cool it down

and when its cooled down then you could put sorboline and aloe vera under your arms

or you could wax or epilate

epilating doesnt disturb the skin as much it just pulls out all the hairs

and it is more gentle on the skin.

Answer 4

*ive had the same problem...and it doesnt matter what razor i use, i would still get irritation...i think waxing is the best alternative..no bumps:)

*if u must use a razor, try a lotion on afterwards

Answer 5

it happens sometimes when you use razors, it's okay just rub some cream on, you're not doing anything wrong. i would suggest waxing though, it makes your under arms a LOT cleaner and it looks a lot better and lasts longer too.

Answer 6

you probally have rasor burn. do you use shaving cream b/c if you don't i would try putting shaving cream on before you shave b/c then that will help with mosturizing and also i would you some kind of mosturizing cream after you shave to. and you have a three bladed razor i sugest maybe since it sounds like you have kinda sensitive skin mabye you should try a razor with one or two blades and a bigger moisture stirp on it.

Answer 7

This happens to  everyone. Buy some scrub with thick beads in it to exfoliate your armpit skin. this will stop razor bumps and ingrown hairs. I also have a special creme to use after shaving just for this. I got it from the perfect shave and it smells like roses. It works really well too.  

Answer 8

I have the same problem,I actually went to a doctor about it,They told me it is either from changing deodorants,your razor being dull,or shaving with no shaving cream.

Answer 9

i would wax

Answer 10

its called razor burn.

you can use witch hazel to stop the swelling, but, its ingrown hairs, so theres not much you can do until they grow back..

it meens you are shaving to close to the skin..

ONE more thing..

you can prevent it by soaking in warm water (like a bath) 10 min before actually shaving.. it softens the hair folicles making it easier to shave and not get razor burn.

then put creams on it, and shave lightly.

i've tried soaking it in rubbing alchohol, it worked for me!!
