What Causes Rash On Legs Post Shaving?

default
Posted on Mon, 27 Oct 2014
Question: Every time I shave my legs I always get a rash and then can't shave them again because my legs don't clear up properly because they are full of this rash and cuts! It's embarrassing because I can't wear short, dresses, skirts. What can I do?

Brief Answer:
I think waxing may be the solution

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.I think I may have a good suggestion that you can use.

Many people have sensitive skin.
The shaving products don't suit them well.
Alternatively, the razor blades may be infected.

I think the better way may be to try waxing or bleaching or both.
For rashes, you can get lactocalamine lotion and try a short course of anti allergens.


Best of luck.
Dr Mittal.
