How to deal with blemishes? (lemmy.ca)

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!

Angry red blemishes? Have you considered any diseases of the skin like ringworm or eczema? Red blemishes are often a sign of disease or a rash from allergies. Especially if it keeps returning.
