How do you get rid of the gray-ish look of your armpits after you shave? I heard it is caused from a loss of moisture. I shave in the morning and then put deoderant on, so I can't really use lotion. Any ideas?

if u dont exfoliate before u shave, the hair folicles get blocked. if u get an get lotion or cream exfoliate, that should help.

It's not a big problem indeed;\n\nfirst of all you should know that the pubic area is one of the sensitive areas in your body. When you shave it off it makes more sensitive area to come in touch with your pants and the others parts rather not inturepted by others. \n\nSo this makes your penis to getting on erections. However I think it will end up and be back to normal within few days.\n\nAlso having a shave will maintain a good temp in your pubic area which will also makes you getting erection.

Thats a really tough one I dated a girl that had that same problem. I thought shetook medicine for it never found out though. I think surgery is your only recourse. One thing that I have done before going out on a date and hand holding was an issue is get a really strong "anti-perspirant" and put it on your hands. That was you don't sweat so much from your hands. Sorry to hear about that. save up for the surgery.

Get Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your underarms. Eliminates all odor. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the anti-perspirant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I go to the gym and my shirt gets soaked except for under the arms. That is how well it works. I have not sweated under my arms for over ten years since starting to use this product, and nothing else was able to stop the sweat. You won't need any methods for hiding the sweaty pits if you use Certain Dri.  I used to wear a hoody to hide the sweat, and I did not need one after starting to use Certain Dri.

Could be an allergic reaction (you can have a histamine reaction to the blade touching the skin).  Google "shaving allergy"

Not much you can do but learn from your mistake and NEVER shave there again. Zits and bumps and rashes are about as unsexy as it gets, which is why shaving here has gone out of fashion. Keep the hair clean, but keep it!

exfoliate your arms on a regular basis you might be getting ingrown hairs. It could also be a reaction to wheat products of milk. My daughter gets bumps on her arms when she drinks a lot of milk or has a lot of dairy products. you can put mederma (I think that is how you spell it) on the bumps after they are healed to reduce the scarring.

Articles in the press and on the Internet have warned that underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause breast cancer. The reports have suggested that these products contain harmful substances, which can be absorbed through the skin or enter the body through nicks caused by shaving. Some scientists have also proposed that certain ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants may be related to breast cancer because they are applied frequently to an area next to the breast.\n\nHowever, researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates food, cosmetics, medicines, and medical devices, also does not have any evidence or research data that ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause cancer.

Sensitive skin shaving lotion and make sure you shave with the grain, never against. In other words, always handle down.

ok im a female but i can tell u how my husband does it. he usually trims it down as low as he can with his electric shaver in the shower and then uses his razor to get the rest. it usually gets it pretty smooth. also a little tip, if u dont want to be itching and scratching once it starts to grow back, put a little lotion on the area after shaving and for a few days after, at least until it starts growing back.

I'm a busy mom...I WISH I had the chance to shower every day!! I shower every OTHER day....and most of the time I use deoderant....You'll usually know the day I toook my shower, because my son will have a bald spot where he cut his hair while I was in the tub, and i'll have those white marks on my shirt from the stick deoderant.

Waxing will prevent this. What you see is the root you can't get when shaving.

Probably keratosis pilaris, as others have said. I have the same problem and I recently started using Neutrogena Skin Smoothing Body Lotion. It's made specifically for this skin condition (which is very common). It contains alpha hydroxy, which helps to break up the bonds between dead skin cells, among other things. I have noticed a major difference in the two or three weeks that I've been using it. My arms aren't completely smooth, but they're getting there.\n\nThere's a message board for KP sufferers (see link below). Also, some have had trouble finding this lotion, but there are many others out there targeted for KP. There's more info at the website below.
