What Is Remedy For Rashes All Over My Body After Shaving?

After shaving one night, I broke out in rashes all over my body. When I sleep and wake up, it s not there but it slowly starts to show again. I was wondering if they were razor bumps because these red splotches show up on my feet and my knuckes and I haven t shaved there. Please help, it s been 3 days

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
having tends to irritate the skin, the hair follicle, and the oil gland, causing a rash-like breakout of annoying bumps.
using an over-the-counter cortisone cream (Aveeno makes a good one) to reduce the redness and irritation. However, if the bumps get infected you need to disinfect them with an over-the-counter antibiotic like Neosporin, Polysporin, or Bacitracin. All three are excellent for quick relief from a small topical infection.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
