This is razor burn. I suggest using a high quality razor, none of the disposable ones, like a venus razor and putting alot of shave gel on your legs. Skintaminte is a good brand to use.

I cannot say for sure why your legs are burning and dots have broken out just from shaving. I have a hunch you might have just started using a new lotion or shaving cream that has an ingrediant in it that you are allergic to.

This would explain the red dots, burning and blotches each time you use the product on your legs. It's not razor burn or anything that normally happens shaving your legs in my opinion.

What you should do is go to the drugstore with the lotion and shaving cream and speak to the pharmacist about the situation and see if they can help you sort of pinpoint a possible ingrediant in it that you are alergenic to.

This problem may be as simple as switching to a brand of cream and or lotion that does not disagree with you. If it stops the problem is over .

If it continues you should see your doctor to try and find out what is causing the problem. Although I'm a guy, I know from experience what it is like to have red dots, blotches, burning and irritation from using a shaving cream I was alergenic to. It's worth trying to rule out.

you need to ULTRA moisturize them! use shaving cream from skintamate. get a better razor,like venus [i heard the vibrating one was good!] and after the shower,dry your legs and moisturize them with any lotion. but try to aviod shaving over the bumps,it hurts !
