I am a 21 year old male. I am desperately trying to get rid of the razor bumps on my legs. I was reading articles on red clover and see that it has hormonal properties like estrogen. I really do not want my breast to increase in size, but I heard that that is what estrogen does. Is that a risk I need to worry about? Or can you suggest any other herb that I may use (preferably in a tea form). I was also wondering if there is a herb that will either stop, or slow down the process of body hair growth with out any bad side effects.Razor bumps, also called pseudofolliculitis barbae, are small bumps on the skin that develop after shaving when strands of hair curl back on themselves and grow into the skin. This causes inflammation of the surrounding skin. The inflamed area is often irritated with bacterial infection. The bumps are often resolved when shaving is stopped. Application of an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial salve or cream can speed healing. I recommend a cream based on chamomile and/or calendula. Most health food stores and many pharmacies stock a good quality homeopathic calendula salve. You can make your own lotion by adding a drop of tea tree oil or chamomile essential oil to a tablespoon of sweet almond oil.
