    Hello :)

    That sucks you have to deal with this. I feel for you! Its not fun.

    First off to fix the problem, Apply over-the-counter 1 percent hydrocortisone cream to help the razor bumps heal and fade away. They should go away within 1 to 2 days of use. Apply the hydrocortisone cream sparingly and discontinue use as soon as the bumps disappear.

    Now, on to PREVENTING this from happening again :D

    Before shaving, soak in a warm to hot tub of water, or a warm to hot shower, for at least 5 minutes to let your skin soften. Once you are through soaking, lather some shaving cream on your bikini zone. Make sure to only put the shaving cream where you will be shaving... the skin around there can get irritated by the shaving cream sometimes.

    Shave your bikini area by shaving WITH the grain, which means you will want to shave in the direction that your hair grows naturally. If you shave against the grain you will get a nightmare's worth of bikini bumps.

    After you have shaved the area, rinse off and dry off with your towel. Then, apply your Aloe Vera gel or your perfume and chemical-free lotion to the shaved areas. This will help to prevent the bikini bumps even more!

    Good luck hon :)
