Avatar f tn Hello everyone, I have tiny red bumps all over my legs, see the picture for what they look like. They aren't itchy, and they aren't from shaving because I assumed they were so I stopped shaving my legs for two weeks, but they continued to be there. I also have dry, slightly darker colored patches on the behind of my inner ankles, I have no idea of that correlates with my red bumps, but I've been concerned about those too.
1701959 tn?1488551541 I have red bumps on my lower legs, lots of them, this is the 4th time in 8 months I have gotten them. They do not itch but hurt to the touch, are red like pimples and are just in the front of my lower legs. They all seems to happen with 24 hours after I shave. I use new razors and shaving cream but I am not sure if I am coming in contact after with something or I am just breaking out in razor burn? I thought they maybe bug bites but they do not itch and no one else in my family gets them.
Avatar f tn I have been getting small red bumps on my legs i'm not sure if it's due to shaving or not. I was first using Venus razors but they were not working and they started to give me bumps, so i would put Aveeno moisturizing body lotion on after shaving. I feelt that would help but it didn't. So it recently switched razors to Daisy along with Dove cucumber body soap. The problem is the bumps are now on my thighs too. I'm not sure if it's the razors, lotion, or soap. plaese Help!
Avatar f tn So, I had to stop waxing and have been shaving like 2-3 times a week. About a month ago, my legs started to get very itchy and sometimes, woke up to scratching my legs in the middle of the night. I applied Hiruscar (quite a lot of portion and multiple applications) to my reddish scratched area because afraid I would be left with scars. Then, about 2 weeks ago, I scratched quite hard to my right legs and now ended up with red, harsh bumps. First, 1 patch and now becoming 2 patches.
Avatar f tn Hi!! I'm 22 weeks pregnant and a few days ago my legs broke on in tiny patches with little red itchy bumps. The rash is only on my legs and it itches like crazy and its an itch you can't scratch because if you do it only magnifys the itch causing me to scratch until my skin is raw! I have tried benedryll and zyrtec to no avail!! Anyone else have this? If so please help me!!
Avatar f tn I have these little red pimple looking bumps on my thighs. at first i thought they were from shaving so I didn't shave for awhile, but they stayed there and there seems to be a few more coming. Does anyone know what they are or how to get rid of them?
Avatar f tn but soon after that i guess you could say, i started to get a few red bumps on the inside of my upper thighs. they became VERY itchy. Then recently a few bumps appeared on my lower legs (calves) and im quite confused! I thought it was mosquito bites but it does not look like that! i also have dogs that sleep in my bed but i'm pretty sure flea bites don't look like that! I'm thinking about going to a deteramotologist to figure out whats wrong.
Avatar f tn I have these little small red bumps on my upper, inner thigh. They look like bug bites. I have maybe about somewhere between 5-10 on my left thigh and only like 1 on my right thigh. They're in like a cluster and maybe about 1 centimeter apart. They are itchy. I shaved on Thursday using woman's shaving cream. The rest of my legs don't have those bumps, just my upper, inner thigh. Any idea what these could possibly be?
Avatar m tn On saturday I shaved and later that day I had sex with my boyfriend. On sunday I notice that I had red bumps(itchy) and a couple near my butt hole where I also shaved. I'm not sure if its cause he hurt me or if I have an infection im really scared. I'm getting checked tomorrow but still worry.
Avatar f tn I am super itchy and have little red bumps. I can hardly stand the itch! The red bumps are looking like they might be getting infected. I have a tube of 2% Bactroban (or Mupirocin is what it actually says) can I use this on that area to prevent further infection? How can I avoid this when shaving in the future?
Avatar m tn Hello, I'm a 23 year old male in good health. I've been having a problem for the last week now with these itchy bumps on my butt cheeks that look like pimples. At first there were just a couple of them, but after a couple of days it looked like it had spread. I bought some itching cream and applied it at night and in the mornings and most of the bumps had gone away but there are still some there and they continue to itch.
Avatar f tn s an allergy to the jeans because sometimes it doesnt bother me at all. The bumps are on the back of my upper legs and on the insides of my legs. THe rest of my skin is clear and smooth.The only time I wear jeans is when I go out, which usually means excessive walking. Does anyone know what this could be?
Avatar n tn I scratched it and suddenly in a matter of minutes my entire pubic area (just the pubic bone there are no bumps or sores around my genitals) seemed covered with these itchy raised red bumps like hives. Today-5 days later the bumps are starting to scab over but they're still slightly itchy and become deeper red/blue/brown and bumpy/raised after a hot shower. Since the sores are scabbing and they are slightly less itchy do you think I'm healing?
882555 tn?1240592644 but on a basic lotion, dry off your legs and put jeans on asap. I think the feel of the jeans on your legs helps distract you from the itching. As a Nurse, I personally think it is some sort of eczema or just really sensitive skin. I think shaving, showers or anything else that would upset your skins normal conditions just cause a minor irritation that is really itchy. I am really interested in laser hair removal because I believe shaving is the main issue... for me anyways.
Avatar f tn When you 1st shave it can cause it to be VERY itchy for the 1st few shaves. but the ingrown hairs cause red bumps on the skin, which can also cause irritation, making your situation twice as itchy. My advice is try another method such as waxing or removal creams, but make sure they are non scented and for that area of your body. If that doesn't solve the problem it's probably something for a doctor to look at. Good luck, try not to worry.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn I noticed a few red bumps on my pubic area. they became very itchy so i shaved the air and they are still itchy. i sometimes put cream on them but it doesnt heal them. WHAT IS THIS!???
Avatar m tn ve had peels before that went fine) and I didn`t take care of it that well after by shaving too soon after the peel. It seemed to heal fine all around my face for the week after all the skin the peeled but then around that time, I woke up and my chin was feeling itchy and irritated, I stupidly shaved and then it was really irritated, red and itchy (Note: These are not 'shaving bumps'). I borrowed some of my wife`s foundation because I had to go to work and that made matters even worse.
Avatar f tn I used to use an epilator and just pull the hairs out entirely, but this made hairs grow in all over my legs, making it look like I had acne all over my legs. So, back to shaving. Now, after about 12-24 hours after shaving it starts itching. I dont know about everyone else, but this is only my legs. I dont have the same problem with my armpits or pubic hair. Also, it is all the time, not only when Im in bed.
Avatar f tn Hello, These bumps are due to folliculitis or irritated hair follicles after shaving/ waxing. After shaving or waxing, apply cold compresses(ice cubes wrapped in a towel) on the rash and take some antihistaminic like benadryl or claritin. You can also apply calamine lotion on the rash.It will help in soothing the skin.A mild corticosteroid cream like dermacort will also help. Also you can go in for laser hair removal which causes permanent reduction of hair and does not cause folliculitis also.
647391 tn?1275016633 Whenever I shave my legs, i get red bumps or blisters and their very itchy. one time, i scratched them until it bled and bruise after. it happened many times but only to same areas. Now, i am having difficulty getting rid of the bruises. i went for check-up with GP and i had my bloods checked. all were within normal levels except my hemoglobin. My doctor said i have iron deficiency anaemia. I took iron tablets for 3 weeks. up to now, i still have the bruises.
Avatar n tn Sounds like heat rash or skin irritation from shaving and wearing leggings. I doubt its hpv since its so high. I would keep the skin clean and dry and wear cotton panties. You could try using bikini zone, Its an antheseptic (not sure on the spelling) that can clear up shaving bumps. If it doesn't go away within a week, then go to your obgyn. I really doubt its hpv. I get irritated from shaving as well and I think the leggings started your problem. Good luck!
Avatar f tn i recently shaved my vagina and everything was fine but the next day i started to feel ichy down there. its not coming from inside its outside, and now i have a red rash that is so itchy and when i scratch gives a slight burning/ warm feel. here is a picture that i found that looks similar.... thttp://www.bing.com/images/search?q=rash+on+labia&view=detail&id=9ADC52BB1A391B42D0CA36C03E9D56C41BF8A532&FORM=IDFRIR my rash hasnt got as small bumps please help...
Avatar f tn Well, now i shaved again, and i have HORRIBLE itchy red bumps. they itch so bad, it disrupts my daily life. ALSO, i have little white looking zits too, scattered. they are around the red bumpy areas, but they are NOT in or on a hair follicle. a little side note: i stopped shaving after the end of august [thats when i stopped physically seeing my boyfriend, because he went back home to the states.] i felt if i stopped shaving, the itchyness would go away. it actually made it worse.
Avatar f tn I have recently been to the doctor with concerns about recent red itchy bumps on the folds of skinright next to my labia and where my leg meet. My panty line. She looked at and said it's 'gauding' 'chaffing' and to keep it dry. And that the fact I shave with water and soap may have started it, i've made it worse by continuing to shave like that and not address it. So to keep it dry and good bye.
Avatar f tn I am 16 and I have always had a vaginal itch after i shave but now there are small open sores that are red and itchy/burning. They are on the pubic area and are extremely itchy; especially at night. Any idea as to what this is? I am afraid to talk to my mom to take me to the doctor because i have been sexually active with my partner of a year..
