razor burn


Question Posted Wednesday July 4 2007, 6:25 am

I have been trying to sleep for 4 hours. I have been itchy for most of that time. I thought it was bug bites.. then i saw all these bumps all over my legs.. and back. Could it be an allergic reaction?

I shaved today... so i'm thinking it's razor burn. severe kind because i kept scratching. but it's a lot of bumps!

i'm itchy everywhere. i have bumps on my back and forehead [which i did not shave, hah irritated acne?] and upperlip [i shaved]
is there anyway to make it go away? or the itch go away at least?

i have already tried allergy medicine.

i can't go to a doctor. i'm out of state.

You may want to get it checked out by a doctor as soon as you can, though. Because your legs sound similar to what happened to my sister. She shaved, got razor burns, scratched. And finds out she had an infection on her legs and she had to apply ointment and take oral meds.

I don't know about your head..but your legs reminded me of what happened to my sister >..>

Well if you have any pets could it be fleas? My friend had cats with fleas and when she woke up had about 60 little bumps all over her back from flea bites. If you have calamine lotion that should help with the itching. Do you have any family members to have a look at it or who might know what it is? If you have any moisteriser that stops with stinging like that you would put on after you shave it might help with it. I suggest you start waxing maybe or if your not using shaving creme then you should start. Are they like goosbumps or like mosquito bites? Are they reddish? Definatley get someone else to look at it. Do you have any local doctors around? Maybe try a bath to stop the itching that usually helps if i've been attacked by mosquitoes but calamine lotion works well to. If nothings working maybe just go down to a local chemist or store if they're open and ask for something to help.
