Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Red bumps that pop up after shaving your legs commonly called razor bumps are actually small ingrown hairs. Applying a small amount of benzoyl peroxide fights off bacteria that lead to infection, a mild corticosteroid cream lessens pain and swelling.Apply some aloe vera gel/olive oil on legs.
Avoid sharing razors.wash your legs with warm water to open the hair follicles. This will make it easier for you to shave and makes your skin less irritant.
Hope it helps,
Take Care!
