Pimples Ever since I started shaving I've always gotten pimples on my legs and thighs. It's really annoying because I don't get any on my face just my legs! What should I do? And why is this happening?

well maybe you should try a new shaving cream that happened to my friend but then she changed her shaving cream and t worked, tell me what happens-totally tennis ]
I get that sometimes too... you should just change the razor and the cream. also your skin might be sensitive. Also your skin might be getting irrated by you shaving probaly so much so just shave like every 2-3 days. ]
I bet it might be razor burn or ingrown hairs.
Start using a new razor and new shaving cream. Make sure to shave down. Start putting lotion on your legs after you shave. ]
those be razor burns, i get them on my face when i dry-shave. change your razor blade out and use shaving cream.

Its razor burns. I know,ugly red "pimples", you HAVE to use shaving cream [[i use EDGE,its not fragrented so it works]],also after you gets out of the shower put non fragrented lotion on. i think a lot of people said this already. By the way - make sure your legs arent dry. They might take a day to go away though. ]
They will be razor burns. Just make sure you use lots of shaving foam/ soap. Its best to shave in warm water.

Those aren't your regular zits/pimples; they are ingrown hairs. You get them if you shave in the wrong direction or your hairs just grow in wrong. Try using a good razor and shaving cream and when you're done shaving, put some lotion on and that will help. ]
There probably razor burns. Um... What I would recommened not as a doctor because I'm only 14 is that you use AVEENO SHAVING CREAM with like anti-itch or moisterizing or my doctor recomended um cetiphel I think. Anyway I really suggest you use a shaving cream with moisterizer or anti-itch. Ok
FOREVER! ]
Lotion...just..alot of lotion ]
Its more razor burn than pimples, but there are a few things you could do. First of all, it all depends on the kind of blade your using, one idea may to be to change to a kind that is gentler on your legs, another may to try different shaving creams and lotions after you shave. I used to have that problem and found that it was because I am allergic to shaving cream! So now I use shower gel and just shave carelly and everythings fine. GL! ]
get a new shaving cream, razor and put alot of lotion on your legs after you shave!

I had this for ever! But i got rid of them by shaving with more shaving cream and putting lots of lotion on my legs. I thought it was was weird too till my sister told me what they were.

They aren't pimples. Even though they look like them. It's no big deal or anything, you probably need more shaving cream when you shave or you need to put on some lotion when you dry off. It will get better. I promise! :) Hope I helped.

This used to happen to me too.They really aren't pimples though, it is razor burn. Use more shaving cream or soap when you do shave. As soon as you dry off or before you go to bed put cream on your legs to smooth out your skin.
- hope i helped!

They're not pimples; they're ingrown hairs. Don't pick at them! They occur when the hair curls and goes into the skin, which irritates it. Don't worry, it's common and it's not serious.

Hey! If you get little red pimple-like bumps on your legs right after you shave...I think taht these are razor burn not pimples. You can get rid of them by shaving with a mild soap or shaving gel. Also make sure that you are using a new sharp blade on ur razor. If it's a dull blade then you get razor burn more often.
I hope this helps

That is exactly what happened to me! i went to the dermantologist and she said i was shaving against my hair! she told me to shave going down my leg instead of up! hope i helped! ]
