Suggest Medicine To Cure Razor Burn On Neck

Hi, earlier this week I was shaving without shaving cream, just water. I was in a hurry and got what looked like razor burn on my neck. The next morning when I awoke, the burn had turned into a scab. A few days later I put hydrogen peroxide on it and the scab started coming off. My neck now has multiple scabs around the main wound. The main wound is a large pink circle, when touched it feels like skin but it is pink. I am not sure if I did this shaving because I have never had a razor burn do this. But to the best of my knowledge that is how this happened. What should I do?

Hi
it does sound like a razor bump. They are difficult to control. here is the most acceptable general rule: never irritate it by scratching or peeling it off this will make it worse. get an over the counter cream from a pharmacist and apply and see if it gets better if not better in 5 days then consult a doctor since you might need a topical or oral antibiotic since infection in those bumps is quite common.
