Perhaps my question was skipped over... I really would like to know how to prevent getting red bumps and irritation. The irritation lasts for about a week but alot of the red bumps stay and turn into ingrown hairs and don't go away unless I dig into my skin and tweeze them out but even then they usually turn into an ingrown hair again. It happens with hair removal cream as well and waxing, not just shaving. I use moisturizers etc. to help but it doesn't seem to help. Does anyone have this problem as well? I love having shaved legs but rarely do it for fear of the red bumps/ingrown hairs. I havn't shaved my legs for about 3 months and I still have red bumps/ingrown hairs!!! I hate it. Help me! Is it just me that has this ongoing problem?
