Question: I have bumps all over my skin after I shave and I don’t know how to get rid of them. Any ideas? Please keep in mind that I am of African descent.
First of all kudos to you for going out of your way to please your husband this way. I don’t think it’s unusual for some women to have very sensitive skin in that area. I think it might be even more common among people of African descent. I’ve known men who had to wear a beard because of a very pronounced razor stubble that resulted from shaving.
I find it helpful to keep the area well moisturized. Use a moisturizing shaving cream or gel, or even hair conditioner when you shave. Also, be sure to moisturize well after shaving. I like to use coconut oil after I shave any part of my body. I find that this helps to keep the skin nice and soft, and I don’t have any bumps as a result.
If you do these things and still have bumps or rashes, I’d say it’s time to stop. Even if you can’t shave comfortably, you could give yourself a very close trim with a pair of small scissors.
I hope this helps!
