Shaveing


Question Posted Friday March 31 2006, 4:54 pm

When I shave my underarm I somtimes get these bumps and they hurt pretty bad! What are they? Use Venus for my razor and soap. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be doing something else?

Your skin could be allergic to the soap you're using, try using a mild soap or a shaving gel or cream.


It might also be that you're not exfoliating. Don't shave for a few days. Then carefully rub a washcloth under your armpits while you're in the shower. Don't be too harsh, it'll hurt like a mofo. Next up, wait one more day, and then try shaving.

Its from shaving too much and the skin getting to dry and whatever


just if you can dont shave as often and try using something like conditioner(i know it sounds silly but it works) instead of soap and hopefully they will go away!

use shaving cream and they'll go away! the soap is probably irritating your skin

this happens to a lot of people including me! try using shaving cream (venus has good shaving cream) instead of soap because it's more moisturizing (hahah is that a word?) on your skin. ( = hope i helped.

You're not doing anything wrong becaus those bumps show up on everyone. You shouldn't be using soap though. Armpit skin is really delicate and you should use shaving creame. That will probably help less bumps (or none) appear.

I think your problem is the soap. It's not really ment for shaving.

Shaving cream will probably protect your sensative skin under your arms when you shave. I'm not saying that you can't use soap, but soap is slippery when on skin, and its just better to use shaving cream because it's thick and it won't slide off.

Also after shaving, try applying lotion to the areas to help even better.

This could just mean you have sensitive skin. I have the same problem. If that is the case, make sure you're not pressing down too hard and you might want to try using a real shaving cream or gel. They help moisturize your skin while shaving and prevent cuts and do help with bumps :)
