Shaving.: I assume you have lathered with soap or used baby oil on your legs before shaving. Take a disposable razor and use it after all the nicks on your legs have healed or cover them with band aids to make sure you don't reopen them. Then use the razor while sitting in a bath tub, not standing in a shower and be very very careful, especially around ankles and knees with very light pressure. Shave daily.
