Folliculitis

Folliculitis or more widely known as "razor bumps" is a common issue shaving men face every day. These bumps are not only unsightly; they may hurt and itch as well. As uncomfortable as shaving folliculitis can be, there are treatment options. 

What causes folliculitis?

Inflammation, called pseudogolliculitis, causes face folliculitis. Facial hairs become inflamed when they are ingrown. Then, the inflammation triggers the immune system. Finally, it results in the body perceiving a “foreign invader”. Therefore, the body attacks.

Once the immune system attacks, bumps similar to acne form. Contrary to acne, these bumps can be more extensive and deep. They are called papules and pustules.

Folliculitis is more common in people with curly hair. This is because curly hair has a higher risk of turning back into the hair follicle, causing more irritation.

What is the Treatment for Folliculitis?

If left untreated, other conditions can arise. These include inflammatory hyper pigmentation, infection, and scarring. At our world’s famous dermatologist clinics, our team undoubtedly provides the most advanced skin treatment solutions for our patients. Additionally, we have creams, peels, serums, and moisturizing creams to increase cell rejuvenation. Finally, in more severe cases, prescription medicine may be required for successful folliculitis treatment.

Changes to shaving habits can help avoid or minimize bumps. Shaving less gives your skin time to heal and reduce inflammation. Although we do understand that some cannot shave less due to work requirements or personal choice. In these cases, using an electric razor is a good option. This is because electric razors don’t cut as close to the skin surface as a regular razor. Additionally, moisturizing your skin is essential. Lastly, not pulling or stretching your skin to shave are crucial steps to take too.
