Cut my leg shaving.
I was shaving this morning and used a new razor. I didn't pay attention to it but the blades were chipped. So, it cut me while I was shaving and it was pretty bad. Not too deep but not your normal shaving cut. I cleaned it up and wrapped the cuts and everything and at school it felt fine. Now, my leg is hot and red and the cuts kind of burn. I don't think that that shoudl be happening. My mom said it isn't anything to go to the doctors for but she'd take me if I really needed to. Should I go or do you think it will go away on it's own?

i dont think this is anything to be too concerned about at the moment, but you should definately make sure you keep them clean. use peroxide to kill bacteria and cover your cuts completely with bandaids. if your cuts are still buurning after a few days of cleaning, then you should reconsider the doctor.. also if they keep opening and bleeding or start to have puss (ew), you should talk to your mom about getting some kind of ointment or something.
hope i helped!! <3 steff

They should go away by themselves but if the burning doesn't stop by like tomorrow or the day after then I would say you should go to the doctors. Good luck.

Well sweetie. I hate to tell you, but you probably got shaving cream in the wounds. I've had it happen to me before. The burning sensation will go away, pour peroxide on the wounds.

YES, go to the doctor!! Infections can be very serious. But until you get an appointment, there is this stuff called Bag Balm that you should use it works for everything that needs healing. Except, of course, a broken heart but then again I haven't tried that. Hope you're okay!! -tasuki

Shaving cuts have to one of the most painful things there is!
I had a friend pull the razor up her leg sideways in the shower once...OUCH!
It should be okay. Use some triple antibiotic cram on it if you have some. It will have a burning pain to it for a couple of days.
If it starts looking as if it is getting infected, then you need to go to a doctor. It shouldn't come to that though.
Peroxide will work too if you have some handy. Keep it as clean as you can. :)

I thimk it's nothing to worry about...if you cut yourself bad enough the pain will stay for a couple days. I wouldn't go to the doctor unless the blade was rusty..but it was new so..don't worry. Hope it heals up quick! ♥ caitie

This is razor burn hun. But neosporian on another aointment on it to relieve the burning. Next time though, make sure you use shaving cream and your legs are wet so you can avoid this.

put some ointment (sp?) on the cuts, and keep bandaids on them and put some soothing lotion (ask your mom what kind would be good for razor burn) on your legs.
i know you say you don't have razor burn, but that is what it sounds like.

Hm. I'm not sure what the doctor will do about it, but you should definately go just to get it checked out. They'll probably tell you it's nothing to worry about, but better safe then sorry, right? =)

just trust your mother, and if in a few days later it hasnt got any better then you should see a doctor....

You probably got razor burn along with the cuts. Try putting neosporin(sp) on the cuts to make them heal and feel better.
