Help! Bikini line bumps from electric trimmer (foil setting )

I had a wax for the more intimate area but the tops of inside of thighs and underneath I had a few stragglers so used my trimmer with the foil head o think it’s called. Like a man’s electric shaver. Anyway the bumps and itch are unreal. What the heck can I do ?

Anyone ? I’ve got glycolic acid. Would that work?

I’m not a weirdo troll. Just a woman who tried to get swim ready and still couldn’t get it quite right and now itchy and spotty. Not that anyone will be looking but it’s annoying

I've used glycolic acid or similar before for this issue and it does help. Just be aware that acids can cause additional sun sensitivity so keep on top of sunscreen if you're outsire.
