Specializes in Family Medicine

Many Possibilities: The bumps could be several different things, requiring different treatments. It could be irritated or infected hair follicles, acne like lesions, allergic or contact rash, heat rash, eczema, etc. This would need to be seen and evaluated to get you on a proper treatment course.

Hi! When I shave (only legs & under arm) I get terribly itchy. may be razor bumps. I scratch so much I rub my skin raw. Would waxing the areas relieve the itchiness a bit? If not how can I stop this? I cannot let this get in the way of my hygiene?
