Hello dear
I understand your concern
Itchy red bumps could be due to hair follicle infection.
Rough shaving increase the chance of the infection.
You can meet primary care physician for examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Apply mupirocin cream
Apply benadryl cream
Apply warm pad application
Take hot water bath
Maintain proper hygiene and use new razor with proper care.
Hope this may help you
