A member asked:

Small bumps (similar to acne) on thighs in a rash fashion a day after shaving. why do they show up? is there a way to prevent it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Folliculitis: Those bumps are irritation of the hair follicles. Shaving with a clean fresh blade and adequate lubrication can help prevent them. Topical antibiotic ointment is the first line treatment.
