No can do.: Nothing will make razor bumps disappear magically. Over-the-counter Hydrocortisone lotion may hasten their resolution a bit. In the future, use a single-blade razor or electric shaver. You won't get as close a shave, but that's the idea - razor bumps are caused by ingrown hairs, which in turn are caused by shaving too closely.

Not asap.: A steroid cream might be applied to decrease inflammation. Exfoliation may be recommended to remove dead skin cells with retinoids. Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is > several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented. Shave >
