How can i treat skin irritation after shaving?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Skin irritation: Using a fragrance free shaving cream made for sensitive skin helps with skin irritation after shaving. Your dermatologist may also prescribe an antibiotic lotion to be used as aftershave to calm down skin irritation. Razors with multiple blades or dull blades will tend to irritate more.

Irritation: A cleanser containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may be helpful before shaving to help reduce irritation and razor bumps . Hydrocortisone cream used sparingly for flares may also help . Talk to your dermatologist for the best options for your skin type.
