Prickly itchy bumps: Could be prickly heat (miliaria) or eczema, rarely psoriasis Cool, wash 2 x a day with soap and water try calomine lotion and try light coat of desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) (diaper rash ointment) at night Follow up with doctor.

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?
