Everytime I shave I get some really disgusting folliculitis. I could use an epilator, but this thing sucks even more! Not only it hurts like hell, it'll also leave terrible red marks on my skin, so shaving becomes my "best" option. The worst part is that I'm a fucking gorilla! Like, being born as a man wasn't enough apparently, I also had to be hairy one, fml...Is there anything I can do to prevent folliculitis? Having so much hair on my body completely kills my self-esteem. And, yes, I plan on getting laser, but right now, it isn't really something I can afford, sadly...
AHA Lotion twice a day, shave with the grain, if you can afford the higher power IPL that can help a decent bit if you use it enough
have you tried a depilatory? there are some areas of my body where i will get razor burn no matter how carefully i shave. in those places, i use veet. nair is more potent and more caustic
>>43431788exfoliate, also consider hair removal creams?
>>43431808>shave with the grainare you a blonde wh*teoid or a br*wnoid whose skin is dark enough to maks their body hair, perchance?
>>43431788no advice but i suffer as well, so know your hell is not an empty one
>>43431815>>43431822Honestly, for some reason, I never considered depilatory creams, might give it a try.>exfoliateYeah, I do. And it truly helps a lot!
>>43431832no.
10% benzoyl peroxide body scrub in the shower, after exfoliating with SA body washRub it in for 30 seconds, rinse, then moisturize with SA lotion
>>43431788I got unlimited laser sessions with a gentlemax pro for my pits at only 100$. Just find a good deal groupon
>>43432117I live in a third world country with a shitty economy. Everything considered remotely fancy is expensive as fuck here.
>>43431788shaving is worse than hitler that shits awful, when i was baby trans i shaved my whole body once per week but now if i shave once per 6 months its rare lmfao
>>43431788what worked for me is exfoliate physically every single day. salicylic acid every day you shave and the day after. lotion every day, also salicyclic acid lotion and aha/retinol lotion. stop using actual razors and start using an electric one like one blade. tweeze in areas with less. wax in between shaves. waxing tweezing and hrt make it come back less and thinner and exfoliating chemical+physical stops the bumps and ingrowns and strawberries. i looked like absolute hell for two months with constant fucked up thighs and chest until the growth cycles all lined up and now i can get away with maintenance exfoliating every other day and moisturizing 2-3 times a a week. still havnt found a solution for my shins they are like sandpaper but now i wax/pluck my chest ~every other week and shave legs ~once a week face ~every other day and am mostly smooth most of the time. also arms like once a month but they are mostly blonde anyway e is really doing the heavy lifting desu
Is it normal that my armpits smell like 10 times worse when I shave them?
>>43435395For me, not shaving my armpits will always make me smell like ass. So... yeah, I don't think it's normal. Sorry, nona :(
