its called razor burn, or razor bumbs
Shaving can have numerous side effects, including cuts, abrasions, irritation and the feeling that something is missing. Some people with curly hair have an adverse response to shaving called pseudofolliculitis barbae, or "razor bumps" due to ingrown hairs
Razor burn is an irritation of the skin caused by shaving either at sensitive areas or not using proper technique. It appears as a mild rash and usually disappears after a few hours to a few days, depending on severity. In severe cases, razor burn can also be accompanied by razor bumps, where the area around shaved hairs get raised red welts or infected pustules.
i think it happens because when you shave, you rip out your hair instead of cut them ( try to use a new blades).
