ok - here's the trick for ingrown hairs.
alright first, gently exfoliate your legs with a mild exfoliator. then, soak your legs in warm water or just stand in a warm shower for about 5 minutes to soften up your hair. then get out of the water, and lather up. after that, shave - but try not to go over the same area more than twice, so as not to irritate your skin. after you're done, rinse your legs.
the key here - is to exfoliate your legs before, and in between shaving to keep the area clean.

Your skin could be sensative to the cream you use. Try a different cream and and see if that helps.

Your legs might be getting irrated from the kind of cream or lotion that you use. Make sure your legs are wet before you shave-NEVER DRY-SHAVE! Try using and Intuition razor. They have built in soap and the blades are surrounded by moistureizors. Put lotion on after your legs have dried which will make them smoother and keep them looking their best ;)

When you're younger and you shave, your hair legs were probably blond, but this changes later, you get black hairs that are stubbly and painful to touch if they grow too long, this is probably what you are experiencing. I used lotion too, but when I noticed the way I was shaving, it was too fast, and most of the time it was done with soap. Those could have caused the problems, but try keeping track of your shaving speed, and also make sure to check your razor blade, if you have a venus, you'll be able to tell by the blue line on it, if its very dark blue, its a good razor, if its faded blue, its probably time to switch. But remember to always shave down on legs, not up, you have to shave your areas in the direction the hair grows, if you do the opposite, its going to be painful. So, check these:
-Am I using shaving cream most of the time?
-Is my razor fresh?
-Am I shaving too fast, do I ever shave places without shaving cream/soap there?
-Am I shaving downwards?
