Underarm Irritation — Getting Rid Of Red Bumps
Dr. Lori tells HollywoodLife.com readers EXCLUSIVELY that the key to preventing irritation is finding the right razor:
My teenager has different brands of razors plastered all over her shower. The real key to preventing bumps is using the proper razor, and not an electric one. Shaving gel soften the hairs instantly, so I recommend using that. Shaving cream takes about 20 minutes before it actually starts to soften the hair and reduce the irritation. Of course, laser hair removal is the ultimate — that’s what really ensures that we don’t have any irritation like folliculitis and bumps around the hair follicle.
Of course it matters what you put on your skin after you shave, so Dr. Lori recommends Sure Deodorant.
I like that their new conditioning solid deodorants have new ingredients like Vitamins A and E and aloe extracts, which are more soothing to the skin.
