Stop shaving the area until the bumps heal
Wash the skin gently with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser
Apply a cool compress for 5 to 10 minutes
Use a fragrance-free moisturizer or aloe vera gel
Apply a 1% hydrocortisone cream thinly for up to 2 to 3 days
Use an over-the-counter salicylic acid or glycolic acid product if your skin tolerates it
Avoid picking, scratching, or squeezing the bumps
Wear loose clothing to reduce friction
Exfoliate gently only after the irritation calms down
Use a clean, sharp razor and shave with the grain next time
Seek medical care if the bumps are painful, pus-filled, spreading, or not improving
