Moisturize skin after shaving.

Accepted Answer

: As you can imagine a rash needs to be seen. here are several different types of rashes. You can try a telemedicine visit but it is best to see a dermatologist in person

Question 5

shaved armpits for razor burn bumps itched them and now i've had the bumps for 2 weeks mrsa?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Mrsa (methicillin-resistant staph aureus bacteria) infection of the skin can occur after irritation such as shaving.  Usually it presents as a boil, but can also be red bumps or pustules over the hair follicles (folliculitis).  If there are no pus bumps, it is also possible that you have an irritant or allergic dermatitis under your arms. See your doctor to culture the area and treat it.

Question 6

i think someone used my razor, if they had an std or something, could i catch it this way? well i thought i just had some razor burn, my armpits have little red bumps that itch, my private area also have uncomfortable bumps, and bumps down my legs. talk a

Accepted Answer

It : It would be incredibly rare to get an std from a razor, and is in fact almost impossible, unless there was blood on it and you had an open bloody spot that you used the razor on.  It is much more likely that you have folliculitis, which is inflammation of the hair follicles which can happen with old razors.  Throw the razor blade away and get a new one.  Use dial or another anti-bacterial soap for your skin and the rash should go away.  If it is worse, more red, or swollen then it would be reasonable to consult your physician.

Question 7

is it okay for me to pop a razor bump?

Accepted Answer

Not the best: Popping bumps is not the best practice. It is better to let them open up and clear on their own. Squeezing a bump with pus in it always poses the risk of introducing infection into the blood or surrounding tissue.

Question 8

is homeopathic slaves good for razor bumps?

Accepted Answer

Slaves?: As a homeopath, I have never heard of homeopathic slaves (people forced to produce homeopathic medicines?) but am guessing you mean salves. Calendula is an herb commonly used in homeopathy and tends to be very soothing for a wide variety of skin irritations, so you can try a salve with calendula (other homeopathics like uritica urens may help too- some salves include multiple remedies).

Question 9

how can i get rid of razor bumps on vag?

Accepted Answer

Stop razor shaving: Stop razor with blade shaving and use a depilatory.(hair removal cream0 or electric razor that cuts the hair above the skin line. Wash the area with hibiclens or phisoderm anti-bacterial soaps twice daily and it will decrease this 'hair raising' experience.

Question 10

how to get rid of red razor bumps within a day?

Accepted Answer

Razor bumps: Razor bumps, or pseudofolliculitis barbae, is caused by irritated, trapped hairs in the skin.  Topical cortisones can reduce size of the bumps.  Long-term treatment involves making sure the hair stays out of the skin--keeping the beard trimmed longer, not shaved.  Laser hair removal can be a permanent fix.
