xldywing answered Monday July 31 2006, 6:40 am: the bumps are bacteria that have gotten into your pores from your razor, so it might not be the type of products you are using. but there's a way to prevent this! before you shave, scrub your bikini line with an antibacterial soap (Dial, Zest, Coast, etc.) this will reduce the amount of bacteria on your skin. when you have finished shaving, rinse off the shaving foam/gel and use a washcloth to scrub your bikini area with an antibacterial soap. this will remove some bacteria that was left after shaving. dry with a nice, clean towel. if after you've used this technique and there are still little bumps, use an antibacterial soap to wash the area twice a day. after you wash, apply some astringent (Phisoderm) to the area. in addition, you might want to pick up a hydrocortisone preparation (Cortaid) and accorind to the directions, soothe some over the area to reduce irritation and help it heal. hope it gets better!
