Strange bumps on my head

[RegularGuy]

Hi guys I have this weird thing going on with my head.. After I shave I'm ok for a day or two but after that I get these weird bumps all over my head.. They are not red (they are skin color) and they don't hurt/itch/irritate.. The only thing is that they look bad because my head looks all bumpy for no reason..
This is why I have to shave every other day while I'd love to slack off some days  So what I'd like to know is what are they and how to get rid of 'em.. From what I've heard they are not razor bumps because those are red an hurt while mine don't..
Any help would be very appreciated

Hey,

I know what you mean, when I first started shaving I get a couple of these near my temples. I started shaving daily because I loved it and now there gone. I think mine wee like hairs coming through?

Do you exfoliate? This could help the hairs break through and sole the bumps.

But hey what do I know lol, if your seriously concerned you should see a professional!

Well I'm shaving every other day and everything is fine.. I do start getting some bumps at the end of my second day but it's not that terrible.. It becomes a problem when I don't shave for three or more days and it just annoys me 
I don't exfoliate.. How do you recommend I do that?

I just use a generic exfoliater pad from the supermarket they are dirt cheap...something like  http://www.amazon.com/Loofah-Exfoliating-Pads-Hand-Strap/dp/B004BHOJLE . I'm currently using antibacterial soap on my head, as apparently it helps with shaving rash. Anyway wet head in shower, apply soap, scrub with pad, rinse... That's all i do.

Welcome on board. The bumps might be your new hair that is about to grow out of your scalp. I get that too, usually on the 2nd day after I shave my head.

It may be razor bumps....What do you do after you shave? Do you wash your scalp? Use witch hazel? Are you a new shaver? If so, your scalp may need a little time to adjust. Before joining this forum, I used to have a problem with bumps on the nape of the neck and alongside the ears. But now, with the use of witch hazel, and washing my scalp even on the days I don't shave, the bumping has gone down significantly. Washing your scalp clears pores and prevents bumping, and if you use aftershave, make sure it's alcohol free....Good Luck!

Sorry for the late response.. Was away from home..

Are they skin color aswell? Mine basically just change the "relief" (bad english, hope you know what I mean) of my head.

After I shave I rinse with cold water and use the Nivea aftershave sensitive. I do however only wash my head before I shave it - every two days.. I might try out showering every day even if it's really quick..
What should I use for cleaning my head? Regular soap or do you recommend something else?

[kalbo]

Yes. It is the same color as my scalp.

I suggest Nivea, Noxzema, or I've started using St. Ives Apricot scrub. I personally would not recommend regular plain soap as it may dry out your scalp and make it itch...or make your problem with bumps even worse...
