It's possible you are getting ingrown hairs which then irritate the skin causing these red bumps. This is especially the case when you have curly hair (like me :P). Waxing or depilatory creams would be better for you. If you use the cream make sure you test it on a small section of skin to make sure that you aren't allergic to it! Obviously waxing ill hurt a bit and may leave your skin tender and red for a whilebut you are guaranteed smooth skin and less likelihood of ingrown hairs.
