How do I stop my legs from stinging from shaving irratation?

I shaved my legs just before and rubbed some after shaving cream on it, but I hadn't used it before, I think it's aloe vera and it's supposed to slow down aftergrowth so you won't have to shave as much, but now my legs are super red, bumpy and stinging REEEEALLY badly!!
How do I get rid of the stinging? It really hurts!
Btw I can't really buy anything right now, thanks so far!

    First, check your razor to see if you should switch it out.
    Second, make sure you’re using soap, shaving cream or gel WHILE you’re shaving you’re legs.
    And third. If irritation didn’t occur until after you used the after shaving cream you might be allergic to it. Wash it off and ask your mom for allergy cream to rub on it, Or just after washing it off use lotion

  • Lisa says:

    Maybe try some sort of lotion? Some types can really help and make the area feel cooler and less painful. There’s also some types of cream that are meant for bug bites and itchy skin that calm down the nerves, maybe something like that would help?

    you might be allergic to it try useing some Benadryl cream or just take a Benadryl

  • Mickey says:

    First of all, it could be the razor. Make sure to use a new razor every week, since they do get duller with each use.0.o

    As for your razor burn, try a couple of these:

    -I know right now you probably dont trust aloe, but if you have any lather the aloe vera onto your legs gently
    -Moisturize the skin with either Cocoa Butter (works GREAT!), warm milk, or any normal moisturizer.
    -For the bumps, if you have any acne cream apply it on them just as if they were any normal pimple

    Try to stay away from rubbing alcohol because ive come to find that it hurts and makes it sting more

    Wash it off, your allergic, easy, if you want any easier shave use skintimate I use it (lotionized) and I dont have any problems but I’m allergic to alot of stuff, but if the after gel is doing this, wash it off let you legs heal and dont use anything on them until they do heal or your risking making it worse…throw it out or give it to someone you know….
    put a cold wash cloth on it every so often to help
