Ouch.... good preventative care is the best way to take care of it.  Now that you have them to some extend you'll have to suffer, but try rubbing unscented anti-persperant over the affected area.  It has great moisturizers for shaved parts.

I would contact a dermatologist for the 'best' way.\n\nOther steps\n\n1. Wash your face at least twice a day with a mild cleanser. Use a pH-balanced cleanser without perfumes or too many chemical additives.\n \n2. Touch your face as little as possible, and only when your hands are clean.\n \n3. Avoid squeezing pimples. Bacteria on your hands or on unsterile equipment can lead to more blemishes and possible scarring.\n \n4. Steam your face once or twice a week to help open the pores. Boil water, remove the pot from the stove, drape a towel over your head and hold your face over the pot. Then rinse your face with cold water. \n \n5. Use essential oils such as calendula, chamomile, juniper, lavendar and mint directly on your skin. Mix 10 drops of any of the oils with 2 tbsp. soy or almond oil, and smooth a few drops on dampened skin.\n \n6. Try using herbs. Saw palmetto can help balance boys' hormones, while chaste tree berry can do the same for girls. Echinacea, alfalfa, burdock root, cayenne, chaparral and yellow dock root are also helpful.\n \n7. Consider other topical mixtures. Beat an egg yolk, apply it with a cotton ball and leave it on for 15 minutes. Alternatively, mix oatmeal and honey together to form a paste and apply it to your face. Oatmeal soaks up excess oil and honey soothes the skin.\n \n8. Take acidophilus to fight bacteria.\n \n9. Eat a diet high in fiber, including whole grains and fresh vegetables and fruits, to keep your body healthy overall and provide nutrients to your skin. Stay away from junk food, caffeine and salty foods.\n \n10. Determine whether specific foods aggravate your skin and eliminate them from your diet.\n \n11. Consider adding zinc supplements to your diet.\n \n12. Limit your exposure to the sun and reduce the stress in your life.

The first crops of beard look charming... do not shave them off for a few months... \n\nOily skin gets pimples... so wash your face 2-3 times a day and apply calamine... \nIn winters, washing many times is not required... do not touch the pimples, as it is harmful...

One method puts pressure on the scalp (scalp tourniquet) to block blood flow, thereby preventing the drugs from damaging the hair follicles. Another method uses ice or cooling devices (scalp hypothermia) to decrease the amount of drug taken up by the hair cells. Lastly, certain medications have been used to prevent alopecia.\nto treat an irritated and red scalp and minimize hair loss include:\n• using a mild shampoo\n• using hair brushes with soft bristles\n• avoiding the use of hair dryers, hot curlers, and curling irons\n• using the lowest setting on a hair dryer (if a dryer must be used)\n• avoiding hair dyes\n• avoiding permanent wave solutions\n• wearing sunscreen or a hat when outdoors\n• using a satin pillowcase

if they are solid white heads then biore pore strips work well. if they are fluid filled, try using a rough grained exfoliant followed with an astringent then a soothing facial lotion like an after shaving balm.

Your hair growth is determined by you genes, not by your habits.  If our lifestyles affected how much hair we had then we'd all be hairy in the winter like a dog.  Anyway, the first thing you need to do is start using shaving cream or gel to lubricate your skin when you shave...this will help to keep your skin healthy and reduce the chances of ingrown hairs and other skin problems associated with shaving.\n\nAs for the five o'clock shadow look, you need to wait until you have an evenly developed beard so you won't look like you have a case of the mange.  Once you get whiskers growing over all of your face then you can get yourself a beard trimmer with a short guard and then start doing your part to the keep the 1980s alive with that Don Johnson Miami Vice look.

It sounds like you have "pseudo-folliculitis barbae". Basically, you have ingrown hairs caused by shaving. Unfortunately, there is not much of a treatment option out there. Some dermatologists are using new age lasers to treat but there is not a high success rate and it's very expensive. Some men try to alternate razors with electric shavers, but it doesn't really help too much. You may need to grow and maintain a beard. In the meantime, you can try doing an internet search. Just watch your pocket for quacks that claim to cure you. Insurance won't pay for these treatments...p

They could be irritated ingrown hairs, depending on where they are at.  Also, if you don't wear underwear, and sweat a lot they could be pimples.  See a dermatologist.  May be embarrassing, but no more embarassing than having someone else see them.

Use large amounts of duct tape, but be careful not to tape over body hair, it hurts when you pull it off.  Just a practical answer, of course.
