Best thing to put on razor burned/ irritated underarms 😖

[Pollypolls]

I didn’t have long enough hair to wax so shaved and forgot why I’d started waxing. It’s so so itchy and red now. What will soothe it that I might have in the house ?

Sudocrem might help?

Second sudocream

I feel like the last time this happened the only thing I had to hand was aloe vera gel so I dabbed some of that on and it helped.

Good old sudo! I’ll dig some out. Was on yesterday but itching again now.

Vaseline works for me.

I second aloe vera gel.

Another Sudo vote. You can also buy tiny handbag size versions now.

Plus when showering wash your underarms with hair conditioner.

Some people have ultra sensitive skin and that alone can cause the burn, but it can also be caused by an old blunt razor.

I use Savlon Advanced Healing Gel. Wonderful stuff. It stings a little when you first put it on but it works so quickly.

Sudo

I use a dab of coconut oil - and have a day off from deodorant after I shave.

Sudocrem, Aloe Vera gel or Lavender gel (I get mine from SBC).

I fear I’d stink if I went without deodorant

I use Savlon for this and it always works a treat

@Pollypolls When I had painful reaction to a new deodorant my GP advised washing with a gentle soap and then using baby powder for a few days. Might help in your case?

Yep, another vote for Savlon!

You haven’t been using the recalled Mitchum brand have you?

Bepanthen

This isnt related to the Mitchum deodorant that has now been recalled?

There is another thread on it but I thought I had shaving burn but turned out I was using one of the recalled Mitchum roll-ons.

Hydrocortisone cream/bite cream.

Sudocrem burns my skin!

I second hydrocortisone cream it’ll help it heal really quickly.

I was wondering that too!

Coconut oil for me ...

Ps. Not tried it but I've seen bicarbonate of soda recommended as a deodorant. Maybe while it is so sore?
