Suggest Remedy For Spreading Razor Burn Rashes On Legs

Razor burn rash on my legs (because I only shaved my legs, not thighs) and it seems to be spreading... Is that even possible? I pressed harder on my razor than usual because I couldn t tell if it was dull or not, and then the rash happened a couple hours later. I m more concerned because it s spreading to now my knees (I don t like to shave my knees-easy to cut, and thighs)

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

This razor burn rashes on legs could be urticaria or dermatitis but it should be further evaluated by clinical inspection of the rashes with some relevant tests to find out the actual cause.

You should also be concerned because of the reason of spreading of this rashes.

Meanwhile,you can take antihistamine like cetrizine 10 mg available over the counter for symptomatic relief.

Better to see your local doctor or dermatologist at the earliest.
