Pls help me to get rid of this.
Brief Answer:
Can be due to dermatitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I have seen all the images attached. The rashes after shaving can appear due to skin dryness or dermatitis or an allergic reaction to the shaving products you are using. Doing shaving too harshly and too fast can also cause such a rash. You need to use a good quality razor that does not damage the skin.
Right now you can apply steroid based antiseptic cream like neosporin-H for relief.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Acne or pimples is a lifestyle disease.
Not only it is chronic in nature, but also repeated application of products without much knowledge might worsen the problem and leave scars.
Acne treatment involves antibiotics, retinoids and benzoyl peroxide.
Not all are prescribed to everyone. It needs careful examination to choose the appropriate treatment. You can consult a dermatologist for proper treatment.
