Help. I was in a hurry and did a quick dry shave on my lower legs, now they are buring!! What helps?

Damn!!! that hurts. Get some Aloe Vera gel and treat it like sunburn. I have done that. I swear by that gel. I have a huge container of it.

WHATEVER you do, DON'T put any "scented" lotion on your legs. It will only irritate them more.

This sounds insane, but if you don't have any aloe, pour some ice-cold milk on a washrag and put it on your legs. Make sure you keep them exfoliated the next few days, using a mild moisturizing soap. You also may want to pick up some Sally Hansen Bikini Bare to help with the ingrown hairs that you are almost guaranteed to have...

Best of luck!

I have found that the only thing that helps razor burn, or razor bumps on the private area, is diaper rash onintment. Helps in 1 day. Hospitals use it for lots of things. Try it.

Get some lotion on them quick, preferably one that doesnt have a lot of smell to it (those usually contain a lot of alcohol) like plain Jergens. The burning will stop when they are moisturized, but you may still get razor rash

Aloe

LoL...I see you've gotten plenty of good answers. Nice to see that there are so many people out there ready to lend a helping hand.

Anyway, I was going to say Aloe. It is a great treatment for many skin ailments. It also works great on those pesky-owie-irritating-itchy bug bites too!

Best...

oh, i did that the other day, it really ouched! i used coco-butter lotions. Aloe vEra would be great.

if ya dont have either of the two try any lotion you like & maybe put a cold damp cloth on them.

My legs do the same thing after shaving. I use baby lotion. It has moisturizers in it, or sometimes I rub them with Benadryl or cortisone cream to help with the itching and irritation. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Aloe Vera. Lotion makes them burn more. I was stupid enough to try lotion.

Well...it's weird, but any diaper rash ointment. I used Balmex. It also works for razor burn.
