Dear Ms
The tiny bumps is likely to be folliculitis. It is inflammation of hair follicles which occurs due to bacterial colonisation.
It would be very helpful if you could get back to me with clinical photograph for further assessment.

Brief Answer:
Antibacterial ointment application will be helpful

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms

Next time you shave, I would advice you local application of Candid B ointment along with T Bact soon after shaving. This will prevent bacterial colonisation of hair follicle. Apply it twice a day for couple of days. Following which application of talcum powder will be helpful.

Keep updated.
