Question: Why do I get UGLY red bumps everytime I remove chest hair?
okay, everytime I remove my chest hair I always get the ugliest red bumps. Never on my arms, legs, private area, ANYWHERE else but my chest. I even stopped it on my neck with bump patrol products.

I have tried regular shaving, electric razor designed for male body hair removal, nair for men, and now waxing products for men. I last removed my chest hair over three months ago. I decided I would move for the bumps to absolutely go away, which they did. I then used a wax kit for men, and it came out looking great! I was so happy! I have this product caled Bump Patrol, for razor bumps and ingrown hairs which is just like Tend Skin. I exfoliated my skin competely, prefabricated sure it was sanitized, and it was perfect before I waxed. Right after I covered it in Bump Patrol. I wake up this morning and, wel.. just look at the picture! I am just covering my skin in Bump Patrol now, and antiseptic cream with aloe vera. I use an anti acne exfoliating body wash. What else can I do? They always appear. I just want a smooth, bumpless chest.

Do you think If I keep exfoliating, using my saliclyic acid bodywash and applying Bump Patrol morning and night they will go away? Maybe my chest just needs to get used to waxing? I just dont know. I have skin bleach, would that help?

it’s called razor burn. it means that the hair has stayed under the skin and is infected. you might be shving the wrong way [[against the hair]] so you might try shaving the other way [[if you go up go down this time]]
