Shaving rash still there (pic included)

[callmehannahbaker]

I shaved my legs and pubic hair on Friday and still have this horrible rash all over my legs and mons pubis.
I use tend skin after shaving and exfoliate regularly.
I used to just use hair removal cream but have started reacting to it and so am wary of it for now.
Is there anything I can do to stop getting the rashes? I can't afford to get waxed regularly (and look like a plucked chicken any time I do).

Really good razor -Mach ones are fantastic and use a proper shaving gel for sensitive skin,Satincare is excellent. Shave in a downwards motion. Aloe Vera to soothe the rash now.

[callmehannahbaker]

I use a Gillette Mach 3 and keep one blade for one week for armpits or just one full shave.
I use prince from lush as shaving balm and only shave downwards
I'll try some aloe now thanks.

Maybe you're allergic to the Lush stuff?

[callmehannahbaker]

Have used it for years but could be a new allergy I suppose.

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

They might've tweaked the formula and it's just enough to irritate you.

[callmehannahbaker]

I hope so-can't be doing with this every time I shave.

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Try the Satincare Sensitive,made a huge difference,I get itchy legs if I don't use it.

Looks like ingrown hairs to me, I get them really bad and thought it was shaving rash for years. I use ingrow go and it's made a huge difference for me.

[callmehannahbaker]

Is ingrow go not the same as tend skin? I use that for the ingrown hairs.

Feel I'm destined to be a red spotted mess forever.

Are you exfoliating a lot in between shaves? That works for me.

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Are you making sure you soak your legs first to soften the skin?

[callmehannahbaker]

I exfoliate each morning in the shower/bath and dry brush on an evening.

[callmehannahbaker]

Sorry-I soak at least 15 mins first after reading leg hair is stronger than copper wire!

[Physicallyandmentallyeffed]

I'm not sure if it's the same, it smells of vinegar, I use it Day and night and also exfoliate daily and tweeze out any hairs I can get to after shaving.
My legs were so bad I didn't wear skirts until this summer just gone.

Now the colder weather is setting in and I've not kept up with the routine they're starting to look bad again. 😩

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Maybe you're over exfoliating and dry brushing? That sounds like an awful lot.

[Dustbunny1900]

If I haven't shaved for a week or two, I'll get bad itchy razor bumps. It acclimated w regular use.

A new razor with at least 3 blades..4 is better. I use conditioner or coconut oil instead of shave cream. I also swipe with witch hazel/tea tree oil antiseptic mixture after

[NikkiNoodle91]

Dove baby body wash is good to use instead of shaving cream, it’s thick but doesn’t clog razor. Have you tried using roll on deodorant afterwards? It really works xx

[PaintingByNumbers]

When I get rashes like that, they go when I put antibiotic cream on them so I think its maybe a bacterial infection with mine. You could try tea tree or similar?
