Guys the last couple days out of no where I have been getting these little red bumps on my dome. As you can see from the pics they are pretty gruesome.

Here is my routine lemme know if I need to add or drop anything!

Shave in the shower with a HB sport with trips.  I shave against the grain in the front and with the grain in the back. I soak my head for about 5 mins in hot water then put some baby oil on it and let a hot wash cloth sit on it. Wash the rest of body, then lather head with either HeadSlick, KOS Alpha, or Aveeno Thereputic Gel. Shave until melon is nice and slick. Cold water rinse in shower and then Ice rub out of shower. Then I rub head with Witch Hazel. Let dry. Rub head with Tea Tree oil Lotion. Then apply 10% Benzoil Peroxide to those damn bumps. Then BG moisture gel or Aloe.

What the heck are those bumps from? One of my sly bros said I need to start shaving with the grain if I want to get rid of them. I have been headshaving for almost a month now also. I didnt have them as bad when I first started.

SLYinKC:
You might just need to give your scalp a rest for a day or so and lay-off all the stuff you're using.

andrew:
I agree with SLYinKC ...   

You're use a bunch of products and may be getting a skin reaction from one of them.   I've tried lots of different products and have experienced some reactions from a few.

Timmay:
i agree with the rest of the sly bros.  Too many of you guys use way too  much stuff on your heads...in my opinion.  I dont know your skin situations and all that ..but all i do is give it a hot water rinse in the shower...to open up pores.  Use headslick shaving gel ..my headblade against the grain.  Cool water rinse followed by an ice cube rub.  Then all i use is clear aloe vera gel and i have never had any bumps on my head....smooth all day long...so give it a rest and it might be quite possible that some of those applications might be counteracting against the other making it useless to put on.......so go simple starting out then see where you are from there

Welcome Nick. As far as the bumps go, I wish I could give you some advice (I've never had any of the red bumps). Then again, I don't use a bunch of products in my daily shave routine. Maybe Andrew & Rick might be onto something. Give the scalp a day or two off, maybe reduce the # of products, and see what works. I know it's trial & error, but I'm not a doctor, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

For what it's worth, I use a Headblade Classic Razor, Headslick with a little Barbasol Shave Cream (to help reduce the razor clogging you get with HeadSlick), and use L'Oreal's After Shave Balm Lotion. When I've travel, I've used Edge Gel to shave and have gotten comparable results.

Good Luck,
Schro
