What Causes Skin Rash On Lower Legs After Using A Dry Shave Razor?
I have developed a rash on my lower legs - calves and shins. This happened after I used a new dry shave razor called the Yes . It s been about a month and it won t go away. Some parts of it are getting leathery. I am also a swimmer and went swimming just after using ther razor. Any clues as to what this may be?

Hello
This could be due to local inflammation or allergic reaction following Razor move.
It incites a inflammatory reaction due to cutting of hair in wrong direction or you might have sustained local injury which further aggravated due to chlorinated water of swimming pool
In my opinion you should take anti allergic drugs with calamine lotion
If it persists then consult a dermatologist for examination and detailed evaluation
Hope this addresses your question
thanks for your question
wish you good health
