Shaving Irritation
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.

dude, it might be a good idea to take a break. In the mean time, just keep things trimmed down with an electirc razor. Some hints from years on the swim team: always use a new, sharp razor, dull ones just don't work. Before you shave, put a hot washcloth or towel on your skin, and use a shaving gel, not the cheap cream. hope this helps

Use an electric shaver... it won't get as close as a blade, but hey, at least you won't look like chicken skin.

Well waxing might be better for you.. You get bumps but they`ll defiently go away.. [DO NOT RECOMMEND NAIR OR HAIR REMOVING LIQUIDS] My uncle did that and it scared his chest because it burned it.. Its not ment for those areas.. ♥ Dez

Hi there! :o) ... mmmm rather not shave... go for waxing!! (it hurts like a bitch, but its only a quick stinging sensation...) the hair takes longer to grow back and your skin feels smoother!
Hope I helped! Goodluck!

forget nair...it burns, it's uncomfortable..just forget it.
veet is really good though (same idea as nair, but better). it's easy, fairly fast, and doesn't hurt at all. the only downside is that it can smell like burning hair and that's a little gross...it's not that bad or anything.
also, since you do have sensitive skin you should invest in a really good moisturizer for after shaving or whatever else you decide to do. (forget the baby oil, think good lotion - like with vitamin e)
oh. and one last thing. thanks for leaving the happy trail. that's gotta be one of the sexiest parts on a man's body.

Yeah Nair is good I agree with everyone who said this..though it smells aweful. If you still want to shave, I suggest putting lotion after, or coco butter or something like that (again people already mentioned this...but we can't ALL be wrong) oh and FYI...ur happy trail...I call it a treasure trail ;)

well i know that my dad uses nair.. you leave it on for like 5 min and then wash it off and apparently it works.. it takse all the hair away without shaving

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

Try to not shave as often if you are shaving now. When I shave my body, I do it about every 5-6 days and use plenty of moisturizer all the time. Try putting baby oil on your skin immediately after you get out of the shower.

yo wuzzup you you might wanna stop shaving or your skin might not be able to handle shaving ya know try that for a while and see if it works
