What Causes A Rash After Shaving Off The Beard?

I had a beads that I colored with Just for Men. I shaved off the entire beard last week. Since shaving the beard, when I save, I get a bright red rash on approximately 40% of my face with minor swelling and/or welts in some areas that is uncomfortable. However, the rash subsides over time. Is there any over-the-counter product(s) that will aliveiate these symptoms? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to razor burn.

I recommend using antibacterial soap to wash the area.

I also recommend using antibiotic cream for local application.
