PSEUDOFOLLICULITIS BARBAE (Razor Bumps): Everything you need to know: Symptoms-Causes-Treatment • What is pseudofolliculitis barbae? • Pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of follicular and perifollicular skin characterized by papules, pustules, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It occurs more frequently in men of African and Asian descent. • What causes pseudofolliculitis barbae? Pseudofolliculitis barbae is due to shaving, particularly close shaving—because the cut hair may retract beneath the skin surface. It can also occur in skin folds and scars. • Does pseudofolliculitis barbae go away? • For most cases, completely avoiding shaving for three to four weeks allows all lesions to subside, and most extrafollicular hairs will resolve themselves within at least ten days. Permanent removal of the hair follicle is the only definitive treatment for PFB. • How do you prevent pseudofolliculitis barbae? • Tips • Avoid shaving too closely. • Shave in the direction of hair growth rather than “against the grain.” • Use a non-irritating shaving cream. • Use an electric razor. • Avoid pulling skin while shaving. • Reduce the frequency of shaving. • Replace your razor frequently. • How long does folliculitis barbae last? • It has been reported that most PFB papules and pustules will disappear after 1 month of continuous hair growth. • Why do black males get razor bumps? • Pseudofolliculitis barbae (razor bumps) is a common condition of the beard area occurring in up to 60% African American men and other people with curly hair. The problem results when highly curved hairs grow back into the skin causing inflammation and a foreign body reaction. • what is razor bumps? • Razor bumps, or ingrown hairs, are small, irritated bumps on the skin. They happen after you shave, when strands of hair curl back on themselves and grow into the skin. They cause irritation and pimples. They also may cause scarring. • Why do you get razor bumps? • Razor bumps can be caused by ingrown hairs. These are hairs that are growing out but curl back into the skin and penetrate it, causing inflammation, pimple-like bumps, irritation, and itching. Exfoliating your skin before shaving can remove dead skin and help prevent ingrown hairs. • What does razor bumps look like? • Razor burn will usually appear as a red rash. You may also develop one or more red bumps. The bumps may feel as though they're “burning” and be tender to the touch. These symptoms can occur anywhere that you shave — your entire bikini area, on your labia, and even in the crease of your thigh. • #dermatology #skin #skincare #ingrownhairs • Is it OK to shave over razor bumps? • If they're especially itchy, you can apply a cold compress for a little relief. Most importantly, if you want the razor bump (or bumps) to go away more quickly, don't keep shaving over that same area, as this will further irritate them and cause them to stick around for longer. And that's something nobody wants • Is Aloe Vera good for razor bumps? • Aloe vera has an antibacterial, soothing, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory effect. It helps to quickly stop itchiness, inflammation, and redness caused by the razor bumps. Remove the aloe gel from inside the plant leaves and apply it to the affected areas. Let it dry and leave it on for at least 30 minutes. • Are razor bumps unattractive? • Razor burn can be painful and unattractive. It will usually go away on its own, but there are some steps you can take to help skin heal more quickly and prevent future incidents. • Is coconut oil good for razor bumps? • Coconut oil has many skin soothing properties, which is why it is ideal to treat razor bumps. Simply apply some coconut oil on the affected area to reduce the bumps as well as intensely moisturise the skin. • Does lemon cure razor bumps? • Citric acid found in lemons acts as a natural astringent and dries the razor bumps, reducing inflammation. Squeeze the juice from three lemons and dilute it with some water. Using a cotton ball, apply the juice on the affected areas, let it dry for about 10 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water. • Medical treatment (cure) of pseudofolliculitis barbae • A combination of tretinoin, low-potency topical corticosteroid, and hydroquinone may be selected to decrease inflammation, hyperkeratosis and pigment production. Oral tetracyclines are used to reduce inflammation. Photodynamic therapy has been successful.
