This is how you create – and remedy – red bumps.
The effect of hair removal? If you believe the ads, it’s all about silky-smooth, glowing, and sexy skin.
For you, though, the reality is different. Instead of silky smooth, you’re left with red, itchy bumps. Sexy? Not so much.
These pesky bumps are more than just a cosmetic issue—they hold you back. You’d rather hide your legs than show them off. But what’s causing these bumps? Is hair removal solely to blame, or are there other factors at play? More importantly, how can you get rid of them?
Red Bumps: Causes and Solutions
Folliculitis
If you’re dealing with small red bumps or pimples after shaving, you may be experiencing folliculitis, often caused by the Staphylococcus bacteria.
These bumps typically appear after hair removal and can worsen with heat and sweat.
While they sometimes resolve on their own, many cases require active treatment.
Tips to Prevent and Treat Folliculitis:
- Gently exfoliate your skin before hair removal to prevent irritation and inflammation.
- Always use a sharp razor and shave with water.
- Treat your skin post-shaving with a product designed to combat red bumps and irritation, such as YLONN RAKA, YLONN RÓA, or YLONN NÁINN.
- Shave in the evening to allow your skin to heal overnight, reducing the risk of sweat or tight clothing aggravating the condition.
Keratosis Pilaris
Small red or white bumps on your arms and legs could indicate keratosis pilaris. This condition occurs when keratin protein clogs your pores, creating a “chicken skin” effect.
While keratosis pilaris isn’t itchy and feels like rough skin, it’s common—especially for those with eczema or dry skin.
Though harmless, keratosis pilaris can be annoying. For severe cases, consult a doctor or dermatologist for specialized creams. Prefer a natural remedy? YLONN’s products may help alleviate symptoms.
Red bumps can also result from various skin conditions, such as:
- Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Dry, itchy patches of skin.
- Hives (Urticaria): Raised, itchy welts.
- Insect Bites: Red, irritated spots from bites.
- Psoriasis: Scaly, inflamed patches of skin.
- Vasculitis: Inflammation of blood vessels causing red spots.
Ask Grandma or the Doctor?
If you’re unsure about those red bumps, it’s always a good idea to see your doctor. For less concerning cases like folliculitis or keratosis pilaris, consider these tried-and-true home remedies:
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera soothes irritation and promotes healing. Use it straight from the plant for the purest form.
Apple Cider Vinegar
A common kitchen staple, apple cider vinegar can instantly calm itching and irritation when applied to the skin.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal has anti-itch and anti-inflammatory properties, blocking histamine—the compound that triggers allergic reactions. Oatmeal compresses and salves can help calm irritated skin.

To shave or not to shave is a choice, shaving irritation now thankfully also!
YIONN has developed the perfect product for every step of your shaving routine!
You’re fed up. Those annoying red bumps, ingrown hairs, and itching after shaving your bikini line, underarms, and legs. It leaves you feeling frustrated and anything but confident.
No woman should ever feel that way, and neither should you!
First, let me reassure you: there’s nothing wrong with your skin. Your skin is simply doing what it’s designed to do, reacting to the stress of shaving, which leads to unwanted side effects like itching and red bumps.
That’s not the result we women want, so we need to give our skin and nature a little extra help. And that’s exactly what YIONN products are designed to do!

I often used such things but with me it never helped while others were always satisfied with it and I had exactly the same with this product, but had ordered it anyway and it took a little longer with me but it definitely helped!

Get rid of your shaving irritation within 3 weeks: or your money back
That is my promise to you!
From registered nurse to hair removal expert:
I am Wendy, the founder of YIONN.
I know better than anyone what it is like to go through life with shaving discomfort.
After desperately trying every possible way and remedy for red razor bumps and ingrown hairs, I was fed up.
I decided to find a solution to my shaving irritations that worked and it did!
I developed Raka, a caring lotion based on rose water, camphor and willow bark, which, by applying thinly to the problem area, easily and quickly calms the skin after hair removal, prevents red bumps and allows the hairs to grow out – instead of in – again.
And with that, I could finally say goodbye to my insecurities and discomforts.
Hallelujah.
When it later turned out that Raka was not only for me, but also for many other women, I started making several other products around it that can make hair removal a pleasant experience again.
And because I’m so convinced it works and I don’t want to keep your money in the rare case you’re not satisfied with it I came up with the unique YIONN within 30 days money-back guarantee (a guarantee you never normally get on hygiene products).
