Thread: ingrown hairs and razor irritation?

Blissbaby- you are 100% on target. Very good info. I have done many of the things you have listed and never had any problems.

The BEST TIP i found in all of this is something i have never thought of.

Letting your skin get wet and open up the pores has personally helped me HEAPS!!! Alot less red bumps and ingrown hairs. Even just letting the water run over the area in the shower makes it so much better!!

Thanks heaps!!

When applying the shaving gel,do you get out of the tub so that the water wont wash it off? And while shaving would be easier to shave still in the water or out?

I'm also having a problem similar to this. I tried to just stop shaving my pubic area but the same thing came back when I shaved again, now seemingly worse. I bought a new razor, I use shaving cream and even tried exfoliating. I just get a bunch of red bumps and then I even get painful ingrown hairs. It's awful! I really need some help!

There is always laser hair removal...I have heard a lot of good things about but don't know if it is painful or not

Even if I try to shave just my bikini area I still get either insanely itchy razor bumps or icky ingrown hairs...Is there any cream that works well to prevent this or any method anyone finds works well? I prefer to keep things smooth but with the irritation that I get it's not really practical since with my job I'm constantly running around which seems to make it worse. Help?

try to shave after you warm up you face in hot water

Hi
You can get creams to help with this, get the bump outta here is one and there is another called ingrow go that is good for redness. Can get both on ebay
