The same thing you do when it's on your face. Put a hot wet towel on it, as hot as you can stand it, or put yourself under a hot shower there. You've got razorburn and your body is trying to make up for the heat that was lost in the upper skin. Aloe is good, but for the same reason you can't put the stuff on an open wound you MIGHT have a bad reaction to it; sometimes it burns worse, or a horrible itch. Try to get heat to it. It's not like a sunburn, it's the body over-reacting to a balance need (on the other hand, DON'T put after-shave until you've shaved a dozen times or so. That area of the body has too many sensors and opening pores because of the sweat needs. It's very much like baby skin there too.

Joyce777	Posted Jun 11th, 2009 at 2:24AM Keep it as DRY as possible and apply powder to the area. Leave it alone as for SHAVING for a couple of days. Before you shave with a RAZOR make sure the area is ALWAY very moist and wet, use a soap or cream to shave with. Rated: +1Vote for this!

Lulwa	Posted Jun 11th, 2009 at 4:16AM There is natural salt that was used years ago by even my groundmother which I used to buy for the house maids because it is cheaper and have no perfumes in it. I saw I once at the supermarket as a deodrant priced 10 times more than the normal price of deodrants so I bought it. It was the first deodrant that did not burn my underarms. when I read the ingreadients It was made from this type of crystal salt that has been used before we were born. this is a link to see the picture of it. http://www.thecrystal.com/index.cfm I used the spray (crystal salt with water) this salt is different than the salt we eat.

violet528	Posted Jun 14th, 2009 at 12:17AM Use a nice thick body wash or shaving cream, make sure the skin is moist and warm before shaving, and use a decent razor such as Shick Quatro. Let your arms dry before applying anything for body oder, Shave with the direction of hair growth, not against it, and do not push so hard when you shave. Rated: +1Vote for this!
