    Odd bumbs on inner thighs and where I shave
    I have these weird bumps I get on my inner thighs and where I shave. They look like pimples with whiteheads... or they just are little bumps. They don't hurt or itch or anything like that. I think it might have something to do with shaving.. is this normal?

    Are they there all the time or just after you shave? I have had this happen after I shave. I was shaving against the way the hair grows when this happens. I switched to shaving with the way the hair grows and started using a shaving cream for the bikini line on my legs and underarms too. It had more lotions, vitamens, and aloe vera in it, which kept this from happening. Also, make sure that you aren't using a dull razor.

    Well, I shave all the time so they are always there now... and I don't shave against the way my hair grows... but I was using a dull razor. I started using lotion and it made a big difference... but I still have the bumps on my inner thighs... and I don't even shave there.

    Try waxing. I know initialy it is painful but you may get a better result.

    Are they in little clusters?

    Crazy as this sounds, I read it in Glamour a few years back and it has worked like a charm for me... Neosporin (triple antibiotic lotion), esp. on more private areas immediately after shaving keeps those bumps away.
