Hair Removal

**dannypefc1878** · 07-22-2012, 10:28 AM

Recently removed body hair from my chest and back using clippers with no guard. Result looks good but iv developed lots of red acne spots on
My upper back just below the shoulders. It's started growing back already too there must be a better way to do this. Iv never had acne in my life so im hoping this is just a shaving rash cos the skins not used to being shaved. I want to continue shaving I'm fed up o looking like a werewolf so advice will be appreciated x

I started using the norelco body groomer, slighty less irritation than regular clipper ( uses a foil screen like a facial shaver) and shaves closer so you get a few more days before growth is apparent.

For the backnee I have had very good results using a scrub brush with a handle.

Look into home units with light pulse hair removal. Remington and several other companies sell these units for permanent hair removal. I have tried them and they work, but are mildly painful and time consuming

That happens to me if I shave a bodypart that hasn't been shaved in a while. Dry it out with lots of soap application in the shower. Should fade in a few days. Should be less acne next time....assuming it is due to shaving.

Scrub sponge on a handle. Use neutrogena body clear body wash. Works great.

Spoke to my Dr seems I made 2 errors 1. I used a cheap electric razor , I'm going to get a higher quality one such as norelco. 2. I didn't disinfect the blades. If I had done this I may not have had such a bad reaction cos it's basically virgin skin, never been shaved
