Pseudofolliculitis barbae

Pseudofolliculitis barbae, commonly known as shaving bumps, is a skin condition that occurs when curly hairs grow back into the skin after shaving, causing irritation and small bumps. It often appears along the beard line or where hair is shaved. The bumps can be red, inflamed, and sometimes contain pus. This condition is more common in people with curly or coarse hair. It can cause discomfort and sometimes scarring if not managed properly. Preventative steps include proper shaving techniques, such as shaving in the direction of hair growth, and using appropriate skincare products.
