Shaving Arms ...

[Intrigue]

I don't know if the rest of you have this same problem, but it seems that everytime I shave my arms, I get razor bumps/pimples (some type of red bumps) for the the next month and a half or so. Does anyone have any ideas, how to go about avoiding this reaction? Please advise.

Thanks,
I

yo had the same problem as you here a post i had earlier...


"i went to the doctor and was diagnosed with "Folliculitis." Its a bacterial infection of the hair follicle. One of the casuses is shaving (aggravates staphylococcus aureus folliculitis). Go figure huh? Also, can be spread through a hot tub which i have been using lately. Im taking oral antibiotic treatment and a topical treatment. I also got a chemical peer and its aready clearing up

btw...I read on the net that plucking the infected hairs is a bad thing.
"

anyway do a search on folliculitis...im saying this is what you have, if so go to a dermatologist. other suggestions are to only use a new razor when ya shave...

peace

2 ways

Buzzer for a quick job on the go.
Or wax for a smoother more detail job.

Edge pro gel..and a sharp razor. I got the bumps on my leg one time when I tried shaving cause I did it in the shower...but I dont do that anymore cause its too much work and girls dont seem ot like it much.

what would shaving in the shower have to do w/ ingrown hairs or razor burn ?
