I don't know of any cream to use, except for occasional use of cortizone for inflamation. The best way to shave, I believe, is with a sharp razor, hot water and some type of foam. Take a hot/warm bath or shower~ just allow area to get good and warmed up for awhile to soften hair follicles. Apply foam and shave with a new sharp blade. Begin by shaving "with the grain"~ the direction the hair grows, and when you have removed what you can, shave other directions if you want (be careful until you are use to it), but shave "against the grain"~ the opposite direction the hair grows~ LAST. Shaving "against the grain" causes the most bumps. Shave regularly~ don't let it grow too long because the blade will pull at longer hair more and causes bumps as well. Change razor blade frequently, because dull blades cause bumps also. Good luck~ it will get easier with time.
