How To Relieve Itchy Bumps After Shaving?
I have itchy small skin colored bumps on the back of my calves. They don t itch at night as much. If something is rubbing against them they itch like crazy! I shaved my calves a couple of days ago, and ever since they ve been sooo itchy! It doesn t look like razor burn though. Please help!

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Itchy bumps after shaving are related to razor burn as you mentioned in the query.
I suggest to try aloe vera gel and cold compresses to relieve the itchiness.
If it won't be effective, you can use a mild steroid cream for local application such as Calamine lotion.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
