bumps on arms from shaving

I cannot get rid of these scabs on my arms. Whenever I think they are gone for good, more scabs appear. They are pinkish red around the scab, which look like holes in my skin. It is not from shaving because I do not shave the upper part of my arms. Lotion seems to help, but does not do the trick. I have been to my dermatology many times with no results. She gave me Verdeso(desonide) foam, 0.05 and evoclin(clindamycin phosphate) foam, 1%. Both do not help.

The condition may occur anywhere on the skin.It starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing or blockage of the follicle. In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph). Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics.

Most of the bumps have a single pubic hairs sticking out of them. And i know sometimes i get bumps on my scalp that my mother says are in grown hairs. Some of the bumps over the passing days have completely disappeared, leaving no trace of anything being there except for hair. Some still remain though. There isnt much redness, and the bumps are the same color as my skin tone (brown skin tone). how ever i am really sensitive on these areas on these bumps.

I have bumps across my body which I believe to be from shaving, they appear to be small somewhat round and slightly raised soft bumps. These bumps occur around my chest-stomach, and pubic area. These bumps have persisted for months, and I believe shortly after said bumps appeared I was picking at them, under the assumption that they were simple acne.

Hi all. For the past 2 years have gotten little bumps(almost like acne, but tinier and are not acne.) Tiny bumps, that even when I don't pick at them turn into yellow scabs that open the skin and are a reverse bump and go into my skin(I'm sorry I'm blanking, I'm feeling a little nauseous this morning(unrelated) and my brain can't think of the word). They appear on my wrists and on my arms.

it is not itchy at all but there are a lots of raised bumps which look kind of like in grown hairs and it is not on the underside of my arms but on the up sides. It is really annoying I dont think it is a shaving rash and I don't know what causing it... bad diet perhaps ?? Please help.. Thanks!

You have mentioned of shaving your arms. Shaving may increase the risk for infections of the hair follicles. The cuts and nicks in the area may introduce bacteria into the skin. Folliculitis is characterized by reddish and yellowish bumps on the skin's surface. They may involve the hair follicle and they may be quite discomforting. These bumps are contagious and should be treated with an oral or topical antibiotics.

You can get shaving gel or cream, and a little baby oil on the area after shaving really cuts down on the itching, and can help keep the skin soft incase of ingrown hairs. Just remember not to shave over the same area too often, and give yourself a few days inbetween each shave, especially when you just start. The razor burn should go away after awhile.

t shave in the area. I have the same thing mostly on outside of thighs and tiny on outside of arms. (My baby is 7 mos old. I am still nursing.) I say the dermatologist and she was no help. "don't scrub, b/c it could make it drier," Don't pick," like I did, "because you make it worse." I think it is hormonal, paired with sensitive skin and have been told it will go away.

Coco butter works well for that. I can't shave due to razor bumps and irritation. So i wax.. everything. Legs arms under arms and va jayjay. But i do get that itchy skin for the first few hours. Coco butter or aloe helps sooooo much.

It's from shaving. It's very common. I understand that models use antiperspirant on the skin to help the razor glide because it has antibacterial ingredients that help prevent the little bumps. Be careful you don't get it on mucus membranes as that would be drying.

It started out as a rash, and then a few big bumps formed on my arm. Then weeks later they have doubled. They get red when I sweat or when water hits them. Now it's to the point to where It hurts to lift up my arms and it feels like boiling water hitting them when I take a shower. I'm only 15 years old. Please help me?

My assumption was that the constant rubbing, sweating and the new stubble from shaving caused the bumps to appear (the area were the bumps are now has always had more leftover foreskin). The bumps started off swollen and sensitive on the underside of my penis between the head on the loose bit of remaining foreskin. I had kept on bouncing for the next week trying to min the rubbing of my penis and stubble but only aggravated the bumps more.

Ive had a similar experience, gave it a week or two and was able to produce something from the welt in the groin area. turned out to be an infected follicle from shaving.

I am a black african female, i have been shaving since i was 14. as i got older i started to get shaving rash and my vagina area started to get dark. I didnt know what it was and was ashamed to talk about it. ive tried to wax, but it only made it worse Now my vagina area is full off ugly shaving bumps and dark area 's. Ive tried bleaching creams and also a few shaving bump stoppers but nothing helped. can u please help me how to get rid of my problem, i am so ashamed?

Well i never use to but i started using it after i noticed i was getting these bumps.. Its never more than one or two bumps and they arent ever clustered or by each other.. and they disappear after a few days when i use neosporin.

Hi there, its just a shaving rash or in grown hairs it goes away after a few day nothing to see a doctor about.Next time try shaving from top to bottum that reduces the readnes or better yet veet it.Hope this helped!!!

I would recommend saving the area and see if that clears it up. Now if you noticed the bumps after shaving pubic region it may just be that the hair follicles have healed over and hairs are having to puncture the new skin. I’ve had little red bumps in pubic region pre shaving and post shaving but it sounds like you are just having a lot of sex. Kind of goes without saying but being dirty or un bathed and having a lot of sex can also cause a bunch of little red bumps.

For over three weeks now i have on both legs what looks like a shaving rash,its very itchy and sore,i have never had any problems with shaving,and never had anything like this before,small raised red bumps, i stopped shaving but it hasn't gone away,but has come up on my left arm,and i don't shave my arms,what it is and how can i treat it,can you advise me please.

I would have a couple to show up on bikini area where the hair is, but I do not know if this is hair bumps from shaving. I have not had any bumps on my labium area since first being diagnosed. What could this mean? Lastly, is it normal to experience tingling/burning sensation around the vagina with no sores (sometimes I feel like I am raw down there, but there are no sores)? PLEASE ADVICE...THANK YOU!!!

The first time the small bumps went away in about two weeks. I refrained from shaving for about three months. When I shaved again and when the hair started growing back the bumps showed up again in pretty much the same location. My girlfriend is not on birth control so we use condoms. What could this possibly be. I'm a black male, could it be irritation from the hair growing back?

d think I had folliculitis, irritation from shaving... but the weird thing is i am also itching all over my body. Arms, trunk, not on my neck or face. Wherever I scratch, it raised bumps like hives. I also have a tingling feeling accompanying the itch, like my skin is crawling. It's driving me crazy! Especially when the hair just starts to grow on my legs, it's almost impossible to not scratch and this is making it much worse. Antibacterial soap isn't helping.

when i first started shaving under my arms i noticed these pink bumps and my mom assured me that they were hair bumps. BUT every time i masterbate a similar bump pops up on my vagina ( not the actual vagina but the lips) the are always a pink color and they sting when i pee. im scared to tell my mother because who can imagine that their daughter is doing that. tonight i peed and the bump started bleeding.

I noticed these hard pink bumps a day after shaving my entire pubic area. They are spread out, I pinched and pushed on them and they didn't hurt, itch, or burn AT ALL. Just very annoying to know they are there. Of course as soon as you google bumps on pubic, herpes pops up...so now I'm freaking out. The smallest one went away 3 days after shaving, and the bigger ones I picked with a needle, then stupidly held apple cider vinegar on them...

Hello, I am 17 years old and I have a MAJOR issue. I don't really have someone to talk to in real life about this, but maybe one of you can help me. I've been shaving off and on and with this new bf, he likes me to be shaved. Well now because I do it so often I have little bumps and intense itching! >:[ This has been getting worse and for sure I know that the intensity of it isn't because of sexual reasons.

This all started after I changed my shaving routine down there. I went from shaving every once and a while, to shaving every SINGLE day from mid-july to end of august. I started noticing raised bumps on the skin of my vulva, as well as a milky discharge that came up between my lips at times. it went on like this until I got my period. The thing is, i got a fever the day before my period, and i felt horribly sick.
