Folliculitis: Folliculitis occurs when hair follicles are disturbed, especially from friction. Try washing the are with hibiclens soap prior to shaving. You may need prescription Clindamycin solution or lotion to treat the bumps after they have appeared.

Stop shaving..: until skin improves then try a different method of hair removal that works better for your skin. The use of Preshave & Aftershave creams will help prevent the ingrowing of the hair. For treatment the use of creams to treat irritation and infection will do. Take care.
