Common Questions and Answers about Itchy skin after shaving

Why do I get so itchy after shaving? It happens whether it's my under arms, vagina, or legs. Even after I moisturize I still have an itchy feeling.
Iknow this post is old but a great to fix this is using exfoliating gloves to open up the pores that have closed up after shaving so that the growing hair wouldnt poke skin n cause itching after exfoliating with the gloves use a moistrizing body wash such as olay or dove n then shave again then use baby oil gel i aw this technique on lxtv i believe n used it ever since...
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.

Hello,
It can be due to cahfing skin or dry skin after shaving. For the same, apply warm compresses after shaving and keep the area clean. Other treatment options include shaving in a different direction, tweezing, exfoliating with facial scrubs, sponges, towels or creams containing acid and ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. You can also apply calamine lotion as it will soothe the skin. Topical application of dilute glycolic acid and salicylic prepared solutions are also helpful.
I started shaving my neck and chest last year and it gets itchy after each shave but i didn't break out until like after 3-4 months. I stopped shaving to see changes but they won't go away up to now. They are red spots on chest some are smooth like they are inside my skin already and some are small bumps that gets itchy sometimes. Especially when i'm sweating. I have some on my neck too and a small kinda hardbump on the neck. What are these?
I also had sex that night (which resulted in a bladder infection). After a few days I started having a very itchy pubic region and would scratch it a lot. This went on for several days until I inspected the Region. There are terrible red spots (flat spots) and a lot of them have white dry skin that flakes away very easily. I also found a bump filled with pus today that popped with the slightest touch. What could this be, skin irritation? Rash, eczema?
i have itchy legs and have had it for a year already. it is after i shave. i cant use shaving cream cause i know im allergic to it. i want to wax but am afraid it maybe worse. my mom doesnt under stand . she says i have to put lotion cause there dry but usually just makes it worse and i get more red bumps then i did before. ive heard im not the only one but its embarrasing i live in florida and i cant be wearing long pants during the summer.
I had to quit shaving, and just use an electric trimmer, which saved my skin (literally) for about a year, before things kind of went back to normal. So just beware, that if you ever want to try waxing, you may not be able to go back to shaving right away. Also, you may get ingrown hairs from just shaving, regardless of prior waxing. If that's the case, switch to electric trimmer! Way better than having ingrown hairs.
I it uncomfortable as the scrotum is tight most of the time. There is no pain. The discoloration starts at the top of my scrotal skin, right near the penis and goes all the way around my scrotum down to the perineum. I have been tested for chlamydia and gonnorhea and tests came back negative. I don't believe it's the weight lifting supplements that i take.
Okay, so every time I shave, my legs get crazy itchy almost the moment I get out of the shower. The itching lasts anywhere from a day to three or four days, and as far as I can see, there are no bumps involved. The itching is so bad that I've made myself bleed before, and my skin is frequently raw. I've tried using hair removers, sensitive skin shaving cream, and lotion afterward. So far, nothing has worked, and it seems to get worse as time passes. What can I do to stop it?
So, in answer to your question, you could feel itch right away after shaving. But, once you get used to shaving, that itchiness tends to be less frequent. I think that's because through practice one develops skill and is able to minimize the potential to create irritation. Plus, I think that the surface of the skin becomes a bit less sensitive and more accustomed to being shaved.
And, as for keeping it shaved to prevent itch...
Every time I shower my skin on my legs and arms (and now increasingly on my lower back) gets incredibly itchy. There is no rash that appears on my skin and the itching lasts for around half an hour after I get out of the shower. It started when I was around 13 years old. I use Aveeno body wash for dry and itchy skin every time I shower, which is made from oatmeal - It helps a little. The itching is worse when I shave, but it helps when I use natural shaving gels that produce little foam.
ok Dont panic...I think youare ok...let me explain...when you shave, and most women can testify to this, a day or 2 later, when the hair follicles begin to expel outside the skin again (getting stubble back) it itches...maybe not under the arms but just about all women legs will itch when the hair starts growing back and yes even in their bikini area...also if the razor was new...new blades & especially if it was one of those extremely close shaving razors with 2 or more blades...ouch!
First off, I'm a 25 year old male. About a month ago after shaving my pubic region, I noticed a discolored area of skin at the base of my penis (right in the "crease" between base of penis and pubic area). It was slightly darker than the surrounding skin and asymptomatic at that time, so I thought it could've been irritation either from shaving or masturbating.
