Razor bumps: 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 in direction of the hair – not against it. Be gentle when shaving – don’t push down too hard. Moisturize skin after shaving.>

2 choices: Stop shaving or laser hair removal are the best choices. I have seen many topicals work so so and the above recommendations are more permanent resolution to your symptoms. See a dermatologist who has lasers avaiilable to treat your skin type and hair color.
