These may be: infected hair follicles. Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. 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.
