Accepted Answer

Stop shaving: If you get razor bumps from shaving, it is important that you stop. There are some over the counter cream that can be used  without having to resort to using a razor. Try the cream on a really small part of the inner aspect of your thigh or arm first to make sure you are not allergic to it prior to using on larger aspects of the body. Use OTC cream for bumps if no infection
