They may be ingrown hairs, don't pick at them and always use lotion after you shave! You may also want to use shaving gel when you shave. Oh yeah, and don't use cheap razors if you have sensitive skin!
Hope it gets better :)

I heard that so you dont get those bumps you put on senstitive shaving cream and shave the opposite way you usually shave..then reapply the cream and shave the normal way...it reduces the chance of those bumps AND it makes your hair not grow as fast. And make suere you apply a sensitive skin lotion so you dont break out either! Hope it works for You!!
