Put 2% hydrocortisone on the bumps twice a day and they should disapear in about two days. If that doesn;t work I would see a doctor. [ cdouglas's advice column | Ask cdouglas A Question ]

i was scared to itll go down in a week or so
for future you shouild use shaving cream something like skintamite that you would put on ure legs or anything that would make it alittle soft before you shave and when shaving do it really slow and trim it first. haha hope i helped! [ shooshoo369's advice column | Ask shooshoo369 A Question ]
Sabine answered Tuesday April 17 2007, 1:34 am: There's some 'no bumps' stuff you can get at a grocery store, near the Skintimate and things like that. I haven't used that, but it might help. Some things I'd try are 1)Warm washcloth compresses 2) Unscented lotion 3) over-the-counter cortisone cream (keep it away from your introitus (opening) and off the inner lips 4) Keep clean otherwise, using Vagisil wipes or just warm water.
A good thing to know is that razor quality DOES count. I use Mach III (even though it's a men's razor). I will never again use a disposable. They do a horrible job and leave me looking butchered.
