Bumps: It sounds like you are developing Folliculitis (bumps) from the shaving which results in an inflammatory reaction and then it heals up with "staining" which is called Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. You should consider visiting a Dermatologist for your Hirsutism and discuss medical treatment options as well as Laser Hair removal. Electrolysis is also an option.

Question 8

i have a brown rash on my bikini line? what is it? is it razor burn? and what can i do to get rid of it? what cream will get rid of it? thank you

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. You may want to try and over the counter yeast medication while waiting for an appointment to see if that helps.

Question 9

got a rash after using the intuition razor (the one with the soap already on there) could this be an allergic reaction or razor bumps. what can i do to get rid of them ?

Accepted Answer

Keep area clean: The reaction is most likely an irritant reaction from the razor.  Depending on the area of the bumps, i would just try keeping the area clean with soap and water first.  If it was bad and would not go away, you could try an over the counter Hydrocortisone cream.  I would not use this treatment on the face or private areas.

Question 10

i've developed a rash on both underarms either from new deodorant or razor. it's red, sore & itchy- how to get rid of it? will hydrocortisone fix?

Accepted Answer

Allergy/Folliculitis: It could be an allergic reaction, in which case hydrocortisone can help barring any contraindications on your part. On the other hand, it could be Folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicle. In that case only antibiotics would help either topical or oral. A doctor should know if he or she looks at it.
