There are lots of products out there (TendSkin, Bliss Ingrown Hair pads, etc) that are to treat razor bumps and they are all generally a mixture of alcohol and a chemical exfoliant (some type of AHA/BHA) You can try these products but Ive found it much easier to use my own.  \r\n  \r\nMy process:  \r\n1. Cleanse/exfoliate my legs with [CeraVe SA Cleanser](https://www.amazon.com/CeraVe-Renewing-Cleanser-Salicylic-Normal/dp/B00U1YCRD8/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1520015067\u0026amp;sr=8-2\u0026amp;keywords=cerave+sa+body+wash+for+rough+%26+bumpy+skin) and a scrubby glove  \r\n2. Shave with a clean razor and a nice shave gel. I use [Aveeno Sensitive Skin](https://www.amazon.com/Aveeno-Therapeutic-Moisturizing-Shave-Ounce/dp/B0000536EY/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=beauty\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1520015119\u0026amp;sr=1-1\u0026amp;keywords=aveeno+shave+gel+sensitive+skin)  \r\n3. After shower I use [Witch Hazel toner w/ Alcohol](https://www.amazon.com/Humphreys-Witch-Hazel-Astringent-Natural/dp/B007RCNIXU/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=beauty\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1520015166\u0026amp;sr=1-3\u0026amp;keywords=humphreys+witch+hazel) to kill germs and soothe microscopic cuts  \r\n4. Follow that up with my [CeraVe SA Body Lotion](https://www.amazon.com/CeraVe-Renewing-Lotion-Salicylic-Moisturizer/dp/B0071XPQQ2/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=beauty\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1520015250\u0026amp;sr=1-4\u0026amp;keywords=cerave+sa+body+lotion)  \r\n5. MOST IMPORTANT STEP: Is to repeat exfoliation DAILY until your next shave. This means applying your AHA/BHA product each day.  \r\n  \r\nImmediate bumps are caused by germs getting into your pores, which could come from your razor, your towel, your shower, really anything. This is why sanitizing with some type of alcohol immediately after shaving is important.  \r\n  \r\nBumps which appear later (especially next day after shave which was always when it happened for me) are caused by the hairs inability to push back through the surface of the skin properly. This is where exfoliating comes into play. Exfoliating after shaving and each day until your next shave helps the hairs come back through the skin with minimal irritation.  \r\n  \r\nYou can use any combo of products to kill germs and exfoliate. Ive used just pure alcohol and stridex pads before. The stridex pads work really well for this, actually. But I like using the SA lotion instead since its a lot more moisturizing and seems to work just fine. If you understand what you are trying to accomplish, then it doesnt really matter the products you use to achieve it.  \r\n  \r\nI hope this helps!

I recommend considering a permanent hair removal but you can also wax/shave or use a cream hair removal weekly and keep an eye out for ingrown hairs. You'll also want to exfoliate the area regularly (alot of people suggest getting a glove) as far as what you use and how I would recommend starting with a cleanser that will gently exfoliate, I recommend the brand CeraVe, all of their products have great reviews and you can definitely find one that is best for you. Follow with Aztec healing clay also known as calcium bicarbonate clay with apple cider vinegar or water, this stuff is amazing and in my honest opinion is the best thing to slather on any skin problems. Finally I'd recommend applying a protective layer of your choosing and letting it air dry.(best to lay or stand infront of a fan) what you use will probably depend on your skin type and what is going on in the area. I would recommend that you find a few different things to use depending on if you are having a flare up or not, I don't think it matters what it is, (cream/ointment/moisturizer/serum) just try to look for something that isn't full of crap! spend some time researching skin care, finding out what works best for you is alot of trial and error, you're body will thank you for it in the end!\r\nAlso get a coccyx cushion and any other support pillows  that will keep your weight off of your hips and tailbone whenever you are sitting or laying down.\r\nFinally keep wet wipes on you to keep the area clean and free of sweat, gunck and germs throughout the day.\r\n[cleanser ](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00U1YCRD8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wPesFbYDNRRMP)\r\n[Aztec mask](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07XYFWWQC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_MResFb3J8N4SF)\r\n[tea tree cream I like to use ](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07C93Q884/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_HTesFbW1ZNXC7)","subreddit_name":"pilonidalcyst","author":"DepressedGothbaby"},{"body":"I really appreciate the advise!!
