I buzzed my hair today close enough that now i could use a razor but i have a red scalp...would shaving it down to the skin get rid of this?
-
any help on this would greatly appreciated.

Shaving your head is like exfolliating. In addition to shaving hair, it removes the dead skin and (likely) the red skin you're experiencing.It may take a few days to get rid of the redness, but it'll be worth it.
As I mentioned in my PMs, just make sure to use a good mositurizer.
Good Luck.

well schro i did it. all shaven now. the red spots are very noticable and i have a small sore like thing up top but i have cream to help that. I put aloe vera lotion on my head after (banana boat)
-
just stick with it

welcome mr fun!

probably indicates some irritation and is totally normal as your scalp adjusts to a new routine. Nothing to worry about.
-
Like Schro said, give it some time.

Congradulations. You will love it. You look great.

I have just posted this elsewhere actually!
It will take time... Not a long time, but it does take time. When I first started shaving my head, I was COVERED in razor burn all over my scalp - it's a sensitive area.
Give it maybe 2-3 weeks and you will be much happier with it, I promise. In the early stages though, make sure you're keeping it clean, and using an appropriate amount of moisturiser, perhaps with some aloe vera. Don't overuse it though, as this may clog pores and mean you get even more spots.
It's worth it, but I reckon there must be quite a few people that experience this pain. O0
