Brief Answer:
Use proper lubricant

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX
If it dissolve automatically then it might not be a case of wart,

for razor bumps you can use proper lubrication before using the razor as it will soften the hair follicle so it decreases the trauma to hair follicle and thus reduces the chances of inflammation ie bumps.

Alternative trimming is considered as first line option because razor bumps are thought to be because of trauma to base of hair follicle.

Very rarely used option is permanent hair removal by laser..

Hope it helps
