In Brief:
Getting Rid of Ingrown Hair Bumps. Mayo Clinic recommends briskly brushing the bumpy area with a toothbrush while in the shower to loosen the hair and encourage it to surface on top of the skin. Feel free to lotion your legs after shaving, but keep your bikini line and pubic area as dry as possible after a shave to avoid stuck clothing, which will irritate the area and prompt more bumps. This will clean the skin and help keep it dry as well. If some have already started, this can discourage them from continuing down the skin and creating more bumps.
