Q: Alright, I'm 17/m and I shaved my chest and stomach (left the happy trail, as girls call it, there).

The problem is I have red bumps now because I've irritated my skin. The bumps have been there for over a month.

I'm sure they'd go away if I stopped shaving, but I'm looking for an alternative.
shaving is tedious and it leaves irritation, just use nair for your chest and stomach, it might be a pink bottle, but it works w/o irritation.
but if you still want to just shave, pile on lotion or body butter right after you get ot of the shower
also when u put the shaving cream on (which i hope you do, cuz it helps stopn razor burn, and use that mosturizing stuff) let it sit there for a while longer so it mosturises the skin

I've heard bad things about nair from people who do mass amounts of shaving, but I'll try leaving the shaving cream on longer and maybe some lotion. Thanks
