What are these bumps on my legs?

Question

Ever since Summer of '08 started, I have began noticing that I often get small red bump on my legs. And as summer went on, I began getting more and more of them. I only get them on my upper legs. But it looks repulsive when I wear shorts.

My friend says it has to do with how I shave my legs, or my razor.

But I'm not sure.

And I'm unsure of what I'd have to do to get rid of them.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

More than likely, shaving bumps.

I think alcohol or hydro peroxide can help,

but I'm not sure.

Answer 2

I really don't know, but before going to a doctor, which isn't cheap, why don't you stop shaving and see what that does.  It may be your friend is correct.  You could use a depilatory product like Nair, and see if the bumps go away.  If it doesn't, then see a doctor because it's strange that you have them just on your upper legs.  

Answer 3

my sister had the same thing its like rash are shaveing bumps its nothing serius she didint have to go to the  doctor they just went away

Answer 4

you might have eczema.

try aloe vera cream, it's soothing for the skin.

also, put on lotion AS SOON AS you get out of the shower after shaving your legs.
