the red bumps might be either acne or ingrown hairs. I would use something for sensitive skin if I were you because one of my friends his face gets irritated after shaving so maybe look at a sensitive shaving cream for your face. What I would reccomend to you for face is Stridex or some facial wipes with Green Tea in them its really soothing for the face.
Real girls don't care about acne the girls that are insensitive do...if they judge you by having acne they must a problem. Be yourself!

Good luck!

you can stop the razor burn by doing this:
- use good quality shaving foam/gel made for sensitive skin. Use gillette/sanex etc. It may be pricey, but you get what you pay for. The foam acts as a lubricant, so it makes the pressure decrease
- Use a good quality razor, like, the gillette fusion, or the wilkinson quattro. It has more blades, and so reduces pressure. Again, you get what you pay for
- Shave along the skin direction, not against, this also reduces pressure and razor burn. for example, if your hair is growing downwards, shave downwards.

Im not sure about the acne. Other things to get the hair off your face? something like..womens hair removal cream, which could irritate you. Or waxing, which probabaly wont work if you hae thick stubble.

note: make sure u really massage the foam in, like, spend 1-2mins massaging it in. Also, use hot water on your face before putting the foam on, to soften the hair. And finnaly, let the razor soak in a bit of hot water, to soften the blades also.
