I decided to shave my arms about a mounth ago, and am still getting patches of tiny red pumps. If try to pick at the bumps white puss comes out all most like a pimple. They come in a patch though so I don't think it is acne. Can someone please help me The bumps are along my arms.

It could be due to irritation, blade is old and has bacteria if you use it more than once, clothes could rub the area and cause problems. Try not shaving for a while and see what happens.

This happens to me too. I would recommend that after shaving, do not use your dehodorent right away, wait a while or don't pur it on until right before eyou go out. Also, are you using anti persperant? This happens to me all the time, but I am one stinky gal, so I NEED to use anti persperant. I just alterate between dehodorents.

Anytway, try not using dehodorent right after you shave, k?
