Hello,

I have a potentially niche question that I've been desperately trying to resolve:

I am an AMAB who has had body hair for most of my adult life. Last year or so, I had decided to start shaving it all off. At first, the result was nothing short of beauty; a completely hairless (sculpted) body with not a blemish to be seen-- perfect skin ♡

Then came the blemishes... The big, ugly, angry red blemishes, particularly on my belly and butt. It started happening after shaving a few more times and now no matter what I do, I can't get rid of them. I still want to keep a hairless body though, so my question is this:

How can I get my skin to return to as close to blemish-free as it once was, without having to stop shaving?

Thank you in advance!
